Hint: The question asks about the apparent shift in the SC’s role with it being pro-active towards politically sensitive cases and executive matter, rather than focussing on it more important rights-based role as envisaged in the Constitution.

Introduction (I): Explain what is meant by right-based court and how the court is envisaged as the protector of the FRS.

Body (B): 1) First of all talk about how the SC has been continuing its efforts as the rights-based court. Give examples: Right to privacy judgement, right to freedom of religion judgements, right to health in recent pandemic etc.

2) However, the SC’s major time in recent times has been assigned to the politically sensitive cases. Give examples and also talk of its impact on its right-based role.

Conclusion (C): The SC must be pro-active in the constitutionally assigned role of the protector of the FRs.
