Government overreach

#Government overreach

When a state consistently ignores court orders, it undermines the very foundation of the judicial system. This may erode public trust in courts.

To address this, courts must have the authority to enforce their orders effectively. One critical solution is to empower courts with the ability to hold government officials personally accountable for non-compliance. This could involve imposing fines, contempt charges, or even criminal penalties for willful disregard of court orders. And this must be done in short time frame.

Establishing an independent oversight body to monitor and ensure compliance with court decisions can serve as a deterrent to government impunity.

Moreover, legal aid services should be expanded to provide support for individuals who cannot afford representation in court. This ensures that all citizens have equal access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. 

Strengthening accountability mechanisms within the government can also help prevent abuse of power and ensure adherence to the rule of law. By reinforcing the authority of the courts citizens can maintain their faith in the judiciary. Courts should be a quick and reliable source of recourse against government overreach.
