The Indian Judiciary Is an Independent Judiciary.
Independence of Judiciary means that it is not under the control of the Legislature, or the executive.
The Judges do not act on the direction of the government or according to the wishes of the party in power. That is why all modern democracies have courts that are independent of the Legislature and the executive.
The Judges of the supreme court and the High courts are appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister and in consultation with the Cheif Justice of the Supreme Court.
In practice, it now means that the Senior Judges of the Supreme Court can select the new Judges of the Supreme Court, and the High courts. There is very little scope for interference by the political executive.
