Government of India (GoI) is constituted of three organs namely Executive, Legislature and Judiciary to administer the country and its people efficiently.
Our constitution-makers have been wise enough to establish this model of horizontal power sharing to allay the possibility of concentration of power in any of these organs which may make it absolutely powerful and then destructive.
In this system of power-sharing, the Constitution has endowed the whole structure with required checks and balances through the separation of responsibilities of these three organs. One can not infringe upon the area that other is dealing with.
So basically, the burden of governance is shared to gain maximum efficiency,along with the provision of checks and balances that do away with the fear of concentration of power.
Let us have a quick look on the composition and functions of these three organs as per the horizontal system of power-sharing.
1. Executive-
It consists of the President/Governor, PM/CM, CoM (Council of Minister s) at Union/State level, along with the bureaucracy.
It is empowered to take crucial governmental decisions and implement them.
2. Legislature-
both at center and states
Formulates laws and policies, along with scrutinizing the government and its decisions.
It checks the power of the executive as the executive is responsible to the legislature as per our constitution.
3. Judiciary-
The top to down system of courts starting from the Supreme Court (SC) at the apex level to the district courts at the bottom. It also contains various tribunals within.
As per the Constitution, SC is the ultimate guarantor of the Fundamental Rights and the guardian and supreme interpreter of the Constitution. Apart from that the judiciary also functions as the arbiter and dispenser of justice.
