legislature should act to protect its constitutional dignity in the face of the Supreme Court increasingly issuing guidelines, Congress MP and chairman of a prominent Rajya Sabha committee said.

“Supreme Court today lays guidelines through a number of their judgments and expects everybody to follow the same as if it is a legislation enacted by Parliament or State legislature,” Naik, who chairs the parliamentary committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, law and Justice, said.

Naik was speaking at a meeting of the Advisory Council of the National Mission for Justice
