Notes

  • Parliamentary discourse requires dignity, restraint, and respect to maintain the quality of democratic debate.
  • Reasoned arguments in Parliament are essential to strengthen public trust and avoid personal attacks.
  • Article 226 of the Constitution grants the High Court extraordinary jurisdiction to review executive actions.
  • Judicial intervention in executive policy decisions is generally limited to cases involving mala fides, extraneous considerations, or oblique purposes.
  • Compassionate appointments are considered part of the executive's discretionary powers for relief and rehabilitation.
