Back Questions - Judiciary | Social and Political Life | Social Science | Class 8
You read that one of the main functions of the judiciary is ‘upholding the law and Enforcing Fundamental Rights’. Why do you think an independent judiciary is necessary to carry out this important function?
An independent judiciary is essential in upholding the law and enforcing Fundamental Rights as it ensures fair and unbiased judgment. Without independence, the judiciary might be influenced by other branches of government, thereby making it possible for laws and rights to be misused or ignored. Independence assures that the judiciary can adjudicate without any pressure or influence from the legislative or executive branches of the government. This independence allows the judiciary to maintain check and balance in the system, preventing misuse of power
Re-read the list of Fundamental Rights provided in Chapter 1. How do you think the Right to Constitutional Remedies connects to the idea of judicial review?

Explain how does the ‘separation of powers’ contribute to the independence of the judiciary in India?
In India, the principle of 'separation of powers' ensures the independence of the judiciary. This constitutional provision maintains that other branches of government - the legislature and the executive - cannot interfere in the work of judiciary. Judicial independence means the courts are not under the government and do not act on their behalf. Further, judges of High Courts and the Supreme Court are appointed with minimal interference from other branches of government, and once appointed it becomes tough to remove them. This independence prevents misuse of power by legislative and executive branches and safeguards fundamental rights of citizens.
In what way does the Indian judicial system ensure that the rule of law is enforced and maintained?
