In my opinion, the court has boxed itself in corner and I see no way out. That is why judicial restraint is very important b/c you have understand that court’s power is based on the concept of law and prestige of the institution of justice. They don’t have raw power (guns/police/army, etc.). So when court issues orders or non-implementable verdicts its udermnes its own powers and prestige. Also, the court must stay above politics so not to be seen as taking sides which is what is going on in this case.

This statement is a personal perception. My personal perception is that the court is exercising unnecessary constraint in this matter. My personal perception is that they are giving undue time/leverage to the government.. these leverages are not available to common petty criminals in this country who fill our jails..
