What is independent juciary?
Answers
Answer:
Judicial independence is the concept that the judiciary should be independent from the other branches of government. That is, courts should not be subject to improper influence from the other branches of government or from private or partisan interests.
Answer:
The Indian Constitution protects the citizens from any partial judgment. And, this gives the power to the judiciary to make decisions based on the rules of the law, in case of any dispute. Due to such authority, the judiciary of the country is an independent body. The courts of India are not controlled by the government and do not represent any political authority. Such independence allows the judiciary to ensure that there is no misuse of power by any section of the government.
The independence of judiciary calls for ‘separation of powers’. This basically means that both the legislature and the executive branches of the government, cannot interfere with the functions and decisions of the judiciary. So, in order to successfully execute their independent authority, the judges of both high courts and the Supreme Court must be appointed without any influence or interference from other branches of the government. Also, it is very difficult to remove a judge from his/her office, once appointed by the judiciary.
Structure of Courts in India
As per the judiciary system, there are three levels of courts in India
District Courts: This is where most citizens go to for any dispute in their city or region. Each state comprises many districts and has its own district or subordinate courts. And, the entire district is presided over by the District Judge
High Courts: Each state has its own High Court, which is most certainly the highest judicial authority of the state.
Supreme Court: This is at the top of all state and district courts, presided by the Chief Justice of India. Because it is the highest authority of justice for the country, the decisions made by the Supreme Court stands above all other courts. The Supreme Court of India is located in Mandi House, New Delhi.
