A recent instance of judicial activism

Judicial activism is a complex concept that can be both beneficial and risky. A few instances of judicial activism being truly beneficial are in order. In Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh v Bangladesh and others (Turag River case), it was held by our High Court Division (HCD) that Turag River and all rivers in or flowing in Bangladesh will be considered legal entity. Similarly, in another instance, the HCD held pharmaceutical companies accountable by issuing a writ of mandamus to ensure service standards and reform medical care.
