Answer 1

Answer:

An independent judiciary is necessary to carry out the function of ‘upholding the law and enforcing Fundamental Rights’ because it plays a crucial role in the functioning of India’s democracy. It helps to shield the judicial process from external influences. This ensures that the judiciary is independent of pressure from the legislature and the executive. It is the independence of the judiciary that allows the courts to play a central role in ensuring that there is no misuse of power by the legislature and the executive. It also plays a crucial role in protecting the Fundamental Rights of citizens because anyone can approach the courts if they believe that their rights have been violated.
