Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.
Judicial activism in India has been a topic of great significance and debate. The judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court, has played a proactive role in shaping and interpreting laws to ensure justice and protect fundamental rights. Through landmark judgements, the court has expanded the scope of constitutional principles and acted as a check on the executive and legislative branches. However, this activism has sparked discussions about the limits of judicial power and the need to strike a balance between activism and restraint. Critics argue that excessive judicial intervention can encroach upon the domain of the other branches, while proponents see it as a necessary tool to safeguard democracy, uphold constitutional values and advance social justice. The evolution of judicial activism continues to influence the dynamics of governance in India.
