Solution

The correct option is D All the above
The Constitution has made sufficient arrangements to keep the Judiciary independent of the executive influence. Article 50 provides for the separation of Judiciary from the Executive. The judges are appointed by the Collegium system by the president in consultation with other judges. The judges are expected to function independently from the government's direction and to hold the faith of the people in the justice system, they must act impartial, unbias, and judicially.
