00:00Should the Supreme Court also go ahead and take a suermoto cognizance because not to forget that in the stray dog issue, there was no death in Delhi.
00:09Still, a major verdict was passed and then later on it was a state that's a different matter.
00:14But don't you think that in this particular case, when people are dying of electrocution, don't you think that the Supreme Court needs to take a suermoto cognizance of this?
00:22Ideally, it's not our space to comment on what should the Supreme Court think is a suermoto appropriate case.
00:29Indeed, one can comment that, yes, if stray dogs were such a menace, why can't life taking highways and devastation work that you've actually done, the government is doing?
00:39But at the same time, we need to remember that governance is not the responsibility of the courts of our country.
00:44Governance is, at the end of the day, the responsibility of the legislature and the executive in that sense.
00:50But yes, why not? And why should it only take care and take suermoto? Why should the Supreme Court only take suermoto cognizance of a rich person or a rich city?
01:00It should take cognizance of also why did Himachal get flooded? Why hundreds of houses in Manali got submerged in River Bias?
01:09Or what happened in Dharali where, till date, we don't even know how many people died other than the five that were reported on day one?
01:16Since after that, there's not even a report of injury after such a big disaster that took place.
01:22So indeed, it's high time that the courts come in, but that's also very slightly dangerous to really allow courts of our country to enter into the mainstream realm of governance is very, very risky in the long run.
