But this doesn’t mean that the respondent will not be given a chance to respond to allegations if the “faster way” under section 3 was used for the impeachment. “Judicial review must remain vigilant, but restrained; interpretive authority must not evolve into administrative oversight over a co-equal branch. The delicate balance of powers must be carefully maintained. Any departure from this equilibrium, however well-intentioned, risks disrupting the constitutional order,” the NUPL said.
