Why are security and fixed service conditions of judges considered important?

Correct answer: So they can decide free from pressure

Correct answer: A. Judges must be able to decide cases according to the Constitution, law, evidence, and reasoning rather than according to political or personal pressure. Security of service and stable service conditions help protect judicial independence. This does not mean that judges are above the law; it means that their lawful decisions should not be threatened by arbitrary removal, unfair treatment, or pressure from the executive or other powerful groups. Option A is correct because freedom from improper pressure supports impartial judgments. Option B is wrong because judges are not appointed to campaign in elections. Option C is wrong because judging cases and becoming a minister are different constitutional roles, and a judge must remain institutionally independent. Option D is wrong because a budget is a public financial plan, not something a judge sells. A useful memory cue is: secure judges can give fearless judgments, while pressured judges may not be able to apply the law impartially.
