The Justice Ajay Kumar Tripathi Foundation hosted its inaugural trialogue under the banner “Samvaad: संवाद”, bringing together distinguished jurists, practitioners, and young scholars for a deeply engaging conversation on Separation of Powers and the Idea of India Therein.
Held in New Delhi, this series honours the legacy of Justice Ajay Kumar Tripathi – his belief that constitutionalism thrives when institutions speak to one another, not past one another. The trialogue explored how the separation of powers remains the backbone of India’s constitutional identity, ensuring accountability, preventing concentration of authority, and safeguarding civil liberties.
Speakers reflected on the dynamic relationship between the legislature, executive, and judiciary, especially in times of social and political churn. The discussion emphasised that while separation of powers is a necessary condition for democracy, it is sustained only through vigilant citizens, transparent institutions, and a shared commitment to constitutional morality.
