Our legislators lament that judiciary is interfering in the domain of executive and legislature. Legislature is supposed to make laws, not judiciary. Once Arun Jaitley said this in Parliament, and, in recent times, we were seeing @KirenRijiju talking on this issue repetitively.

But the thing is that judges do not interfere, they are forced to interfere due to many reasons, and as the protector of constitution, it is their duty to uphold the law.
One of the main reasons is poor drafting of statutes by the executive,

Supreme Court also drew attention of executive on this issue.
In one webinar, Indian drafting department’s head also said that they worked day and night to draft GST Act, because gov gave very little time to them.
Important observations have been made on this issue

of poor drafting and the consequences of that, in ‘Lord Macaulay Report’, which was submitted in 1837.
That report says, “There are two things that a legislator should always have in view while he is framing laws: the one is, that they should be as far as possible precise;

the other, that they should be easily understood”

It further says, “A loosely worded law is no law, and to whatever extent a legislature uses vague expressions, to that extent it abdicate its functions, and resign the power of making law to the courts of justice.”
