What meant by independance of judiciary explain


Open in App
Solution

The judiciary is independent in the sense that it is not subject to legislative or executive influence. The judges do not act or make rulings in accordance with the government’s wishes or in the ruling party’s favour.

Judicial independence refers to the ability of courts to execute the law and decide disputes regardless of the authority or preferences of the parties that appear before them (La Porta et al. 2004). Its theoretical origins may be traced back to the Enlightenment, while its practical application may be dated back to the United States Constitution.
