The independence of Judiciary
Explanation:
Independence of judiciary means that the organs of the govt. cannot influence the functioning and decisions of the judiciary. The constitution has ensured independence of the judiciary through a number of measures:
- The appointment of judges doesn't involve political parties. A person must have experience as a lawyer to be appointed as a judge. He/she can't be appointed arbitrarily.
- The judges hold office till the age of retirement. This security of tenure or permanent status ensures that the judge functions without apprehension.
- The judiciary is not financially dependent on either the executive or the legislature. The remuneration (wages or salary) of the judges does not need the approval of the legislature.
Power of Judiciary
- The judiciary of India is a powerful and independent institution. It is a mechanism for the legal redress of disputes and prosecution of legal offenders as well. Apart from this, the judiciary at the higher level also interprets the Constitution and resolves disputes between the centre and states as well as between different states. It protects the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution and is the mechanism to seek recourse to constitutional remedies. It also strikes down any law that contravenes the Constitution in letter and spirit. Along with the legislature and the executive, it is one of the three pillars of Indian democracy.
