The main topic of this paper is to frame a critique of the so-called partnership model in jurisdiction between the legislature and the judiciary-
The hallmark of 19th and 20th century doctrines of interpretation has been that they premise themselves on the principle that a court ought to interpret law as it stands. The function of the court is to interpret the language of a statute, whereas it is for the legislature to make enactments and for the courts to enforce such enactments. Courts are not legislators, they have to carry out loyally the directions of the legislature. Two models of interpretation stands in present world, agency and partnership model. According to the agency model while interpreting a statute, the Court has to discover the intent of the legislature or the purpose behind legislation. The partnership model views the Court as a partner in legislative enterprise with legislature, hence, while interpreting a statute the Court should seek a sensible to avoid rigors of law. Judge does not create normative text but rather gives it meaning. The static vision of statutory interpretation prescribed by traditional doctrine is strikingly outdated. Interpretation of a statute evolves over time because of changing factual contexts and the changing perspectives of its interpreters. Statutory interpretation should appropriately balance a number of factors, including predictability and certainty, economic efficiency, fairness, and the public interest.
