Independence of judiciary is essential in a democracy so
that it does not act under the control and direction of the legislature
or the executive. The judge do not act according to the wishes of the
government, i.e. the party in power. Indian judiciary is powerful in the
sense that it can declare only law invalid if it is against the
constitution. Thus Indian judiciary acts as a guardian of the
Fundamental Rights which is essential for a democracy.
