Does independence of the judiciary mean that the judiciary is not accountable to any one? Write your answer in not more than 100 words.
उत्तर
The independence of the judiciary does not mean that the judiciary is not accountable to anyone.
The judiciary has to work according to the laws written in the constitution. Any kind of misbehaviour and incapacity of the judges can lead to their removal from the post. The judges have to write and explain the grounds of their decision made in the court. They cannot rule one way today and the opposite tomorrow in the same case. The judiciary cannot interfere in the sphere of legislature and executive. The system has to function independently while having accountability to the Constitution.
