		Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee’s statement that the judiciary and the legislatures exist in mutual respect is unexceptionable.
		The Lok Sabha Speaker came into the picture when he addressed an all-party meeting in the Central Hall of Parliament and suggested a Presidential reference to the Supreme Court on the powers of the highest court in the country to intervene in a situation like the one created by the political parties in Jharkhand.
		The Lok Sabha Speaker’s point whether the court would have hauled up the pro-tem speaker and MLAs becomes somewhat rhetorical in view of the fact that the entire mess was created by political parties which was later cleaned up through the intervention of the Prime Minister.
