Unimplementable orders-Two recent judgments look like they will remain on paper

• In 1981, the Supreme Court passed an order directing the shifting of some graves in Doshipura in Varanasi from a Muslim graveyard, but the order is yet to be implemented.
• Similarly, while some were debating how implementable the recent verdict on the entry of women of all ages into the Sabarimala temple is, the order fixing timings for bursting of firecrackers during Diwali this year was flouted with impunity.
• Recently the court has passed two orders which is feared that they will remain on paper.
• In the first, the court has asked each High Court to designate as many sessions and magistrate courts in the concerned States to try criminal cases against sitting and former MPs and MLAs.
• The second order in question is for implementing the Witness Protection Scheme of 2018 with proposals also appear unrealistic.
• Unless orders factor in these considerations, they may go the way of the Doshipura graveyard.
