Dignity of Judiciary
The Judiciary is one of the indispensable organs of the state. The Judiciary becomes more important as it is the ultimate custodian of the constitution. But in recent times the Executive has tarnished the image of the Judiciary because of too much intervention.
Separation of Judiciary is a long standing demand and it is because of this fusion between the Executive and the Judiciary, that the Judiciary is apparently helpless.

Generally, the government does not hesitate to say that it honours any verdict by any court. But its reaction to the HC verdict says a different story.
