Abstract
Judicial Activism is not a result of general development of judicial procedure. It is an essential aspect of the dynamics, derivatives and independent findings of the courts. It is a specific judicial interest about the issues. Judicial Activism does not mean governance by the judiciary. Judicial Activism must also function within the limits of judicial process. Within those limits it performs the function of stigmatizing, as well as legitimizing, the actions of the other bodies of the Government- more often legitimizing. The judiciary is having certain limitation according to statutes which are framed by the legislature. It becomes strong only when people repose faith in it. Such faith constitutes the legitimacy of the Court and of judicial activism. Courts do not have to bow to public pressure, but rather they should stand firm against public pressure. Such inarticulate and diffused consensus about the impartiality and integrity of the Judiciary is the source of the Court’s legitimacy. It is an essential aspect of the dynamics of a constitutional court, in modern India, the judicial activism may develop through many aspects and it will play an important role to future challenges of the democratic India.
