Why does judicial independence include protection against arbitrary removal of judges?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: So judges can decide impartially without fear of those in power or other external pressure

The correct answer is A. If a government or powerful person could remove a judge whenever it disliked a decision, judges might fear deciding against that power. Protection from arbitrary removal, together with a prescribed constitutional procedure, allows judges to decide according to the Constitution, law, evidence, and reason. This supports impartiality and public confidence in courts. Option A is correct because it links security of office with freedom from external pressure. Option B is wrong because judicial independence does not mean that judges are controlled only by the executive; executive control would weaken independence. Option C is wrong because immediate removal for disagreement would punish independent decisions and create fear. Option D is wrong because independence does not remove lawful appeals or reviews; higher courts may examine decisions through legal procedures. The safeguard is not a licence for misconduct; removal, where constitutionally provided, follows a defined process rather than personal or political anger. Memory cue: secure tenure protects fearless judgment, not unlimited power.
