Why is it necessary to keep the judiciary independent in a democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: So justice can be given free from government pressure

Correct answer: A — independence allows courts to deliver justice without government pressure. In a democracy, elected governments have authority, but that authority is limited by the Constitution and law. An independent judiciary can examine government action, protect citizens’ rights, and decide disputes impartially, even when one side is politically powerful. A is correct because freedom from improper pressure supports equality before law and constitutional protection. B is wrong because courts must not act as campaign organisations. C is wrong because judicial independence does not remove Parliament; the legislature and judiciary have different constitutional roles. D is wrong because an independent judiciary supports lawful democracy rather than ending elections. Independence does not mean courts may act arbitrarily; judges remain bound by the Constitution, laws, and judicial procedures. Memory cue: independent courts are a safeguard against misuse of power.
