Solution

Independence of the Judiciary means that the judicial branch functions freely and fairly, without any interference or pressure from the executive, legislature, or any external forces.

It ensures that:

  • Judges can give impartial decisions based only on law and justice.
  • The judiciary can protect the rights of citizens and uphold the Constitution.
  • Courts are free to act even against the government, if necessary.

Judicial independence is essential for maintaining the rule of law, democracy, and public trust in the legal system.
