ABSTRACT
The dynamic interplay between judicial activism and the principle of separation of powers has produced long-standing disputes and significant thoughts within India's democratic system. This study examines judicial activism in light of India's separation of powers concept. Drawing on constitutional provisions, significant judicial pronouncements, and intellectual discourse, it navigates the complicated terrain where the judiciary, executive, and legislative meet. Through a multifaceted perspective, the article explains the essence of judicial activism, its expressions, and the ramifications for the delicate balance of power envisioned by the Indian Constitution's authors. By evaluating crucial case studies and interacting with varied perspectives, it reveals the subtle processes that shape the interaction between the court and the other arms of government. Furthermore, it dives into the obstacles, conflicts, and future directions that define this complex partnership. Finally, this article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of India's emerging governance landscape, where the concepts of judicial activism and separation of powers intersect and diverge, affecting the contours of democracy and the rule of law.
