In the esteemed Republic of Hills National Park, where justice reigns supreme—quite literally—the Judicial Branch stands as the unwavering pillar of righteousness, holding the delicate threads of governance firmly in place. Should the other branches of government ever stray from their path, the judiciary is ever-present to gently—or not so gently—guide them back. Presided over by the all-knowing Chief Judge of the Supreme Court, this bench of legal scholars has descended from the heights of jurisprudence to oversee everything from local elections to urban planning.
One must admire the constitutional ballet performed by the judges of Hills Republic, where the separation of powers is honored with such flair. After all, who needs traditional checks and balances when the judiciary, boundless in its authority, acts as the ultimate arbiter of the Republic’s destiny? These judges are not just legal experts; they are also top-tier economists, scientists, urban planners, environmentalists, and perhaps even clairvoyants. Their expertise spans multiple disciplines, making them the ultimate polymaths, whose wisdom transcends earthly limitations.
In their infinite wisdom, the Supreme Court recently organized a population control conference—because, naturally, who better to address birth rates than robed judges? They firmly believe that the citizens of Hills Republic should stay at home, eat at home, and, most importantly, not multiply beyond the meticulously preserved borders of the Master Plan. Unlike those “so-called” advanced jurisdictions that dare to adapt their urban strategies, Hills Republic proudly remains true to its original vision, untouched by time or progress.
And let us not forget the environment. The judiciary of the Republic of Hills does not merely interpret the law—they interpret the land. They are the guardians of agriculture, forests, wildlife, and all things green, ensuring that every tree, rock, and blade of grass is accounted for. Their review of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), Spatial Impact Assessments, and ecological footprint studies is unmatched. The judges possess superhuman abilities to assess and determine the ecological and biodiversity impact of a single building measuring a few thousand square feet in a National Park spanning hundreds of thousands of hectares. Naturally, the thousands of homes constructed by Martians and other extraterrestrial beings evade their scrutiny, as only such extraordinary entities can escape the supernatural powers of the judges of Hills Republic.
These judges combat climate change with the precision of a surgeon, meticulously examining every public project and development to ensure that the Republic remains as pristine as ever.
Their commitment to climate resilience is so unwavering that they even advocate for the demolition of buildings based on the clear and decisive determination that an eatery at a hill station within a National Park poses an existential threat. It’s widely reported that many of the judges in Hills Republic have visited national parks in more developed jurisdictions, only to be shocked by the absence of commercial restaurants, forcing them to survive on indigenous food or meals cooked by locals. Deprived of other options, these poor judges now carry a “Mitti ki Ketli” for tea with a week-long shelf life and “Aloo Paratha” tiffins that last a month—because, of course, no National Park in the world could possibly have hotels or restaurants. Their nights are spent either in tents or in the homes of locals with a century-long history of residence.
These judges also hold doctorate degrees in development planning and infrastructure, making them unparalleled authorities in adjudicating mass transit projects and new human habitations. Their expertise in community counseling is so profound that they can be swayed by the testimony of one or two individuals out of thousands, deciding that the rest should either perish or relocate to another planet. In their wisdom, they discourage new developments, believing that by converting agricultural land into real estate empires (which some mistakenly refer to as human settlements), they are safeguarding food security. Alas, no one dares to inform the judges of the actual ratio of cultivable land to the percentage of land under cultivation.
So, fear not, citizens of Hills Republic! With such an enlightened judiciary, you are in the safest of hands. The rule of law reigns supreme, as long as it is interpreted by those who know best—the judges. And rest assured, they will never overstep their bounds, for they are not emperors. They are simply the wise, benevolent overseers of your fate.
Yet, with their ever-expanding repertoire of supernatural abilities, who knows what’s next? Perhaps one day, the greatest Chief Judge of the Republic of Hills will convene a summit with a grand agenda: to develop a new law of physics—because gravity, like justice, must bow to their wisdom. After all, when you’re indispensable to the very fabric of the universe, why stop at merely ruling the Republic?
