Unaccountability
|
- One of the demerits of overlapping powers, is that a particular organ cannot be held accountable for its decisions. Eg. Judicial verdicts in 2G and Coal Block allocation case.
|
Erosion of faith
|
- Repeated interventions of one organ into another’s functioning can diminish the faith of the people in the integrity, quality, and efficiency of the other organs.
|
Accumulation of power
|
- It undermines the spirit of democracy as too much accumulation of powers in organs of government undermines the principle of check and balance.
|
Adverse effect on development
|
- Excessive infringement on each other’s jurisdiction may impede smooth functioning of government and hinder public service and overall development.
