Anywhere, in a democratic nation, people don’t elect absolute monarchs or dictators. They elect some officials like Presidents and Prime Ministers and representatives to assemblies who occupy positions defined by set of rules governing a democratic country, which are called the constitution. There has got to be an independent parallel institution to check that these elected guys actually keep their assignments as per constitution and don’t get into thermal run away kind of uncontrolled flare to please a popular vote bank. That is judiciary. It defines and moderates (not controls) the actions of President, Prime Ministers or other elected officials to ensure those remain within limits of constitution. That’s why on that perspective judiciary is indeed powerful and should be so. It’s defiance should be punishable to make it effective.
