The Judiciary (Supreme Court, High Courts, and judicial independence)

The governing concept is judicial independence and the rule of law. A judiciary must be able to hear complaints, interpret the Constitution and apply legal standards without improper pressure from the government, powerful groups or private interests. This makes it possible to examine unlawful detention, discrimination, violence or other arbitrary action and to order an appropriate remedy when a right is violated. Independence does not mean that judges are above the law; it means that decisions are based on evidence and law rather than political command. Option A is correct. B supports dependence, while C and D directly contradict fair hearing and rights protection.

The judiciary protects rights by interpreting laws, reviewing unlawful action, hearing petitions, and ordering suitable remedies when rights are violated. Relief may include stopping an illegal action, ordering an authority to perform its duty, protecting a person from abuse, or providing another lawful remedy. Option A is correct because it directly connects judicial action with human-rights protection. A market discount, the beginning of a sports match, and a weather report are ordinary events unrelated to the judicial function. Courts must decide according to law and evidence, and their independence helps them examine complaints even when the alleged violation involves a powerful official or institution.
