Question

The judiciary of our country is independent and unbiased.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Article 50 of the Constitution of India talks about the separation of judiciary from the executive. Judicial independence refers to the environment where the judges are unbiased and free to make or pass the judgment without any external pressure.

The Constitution adopts various measures to ensure the independence of the judiciary. Let alone take the examples of appointment of judges which involves judicial as well as executive authority equally. An impartial and independent judicial system in a country alone can protect the rights of the citizens against the arbitrary power of executive or legislature.
