You read that one of the main functions of the judiciary is ‘upholding the law and Enforcing Fundamental Rights’. Why do you think an independent judiciary is necessary to carry out this important function?

Best answer

Judiciary is independent in our country. The judges’ appointment takes place with minimum interference from the legislature or executive. It is very difficult to remove a judge from office. This allows the judge to exercise judiciary powers without fear or favour. Thus, an independent judiciary is necessary to upholding the law and enforcing Fundamental Rights. Anybody can approach the Supreme Court or High Court in case of violation of his/her Fundamental Rights.
