Independence of judiciary is vital for democracy from "summary" of Constitution of India by Fali S. Nariman

The principle of the independence of the judiciary is not only a fundamental postulate of all democratic constitutions, but it is also a basic feature of the Constitution of India. The judiciary is insulated from the executive and the legislature; it is expected to remain impartial and neutral in the discharge of its functions. The independence of the judiciary means that the judges are free to decide cases without any pressure or influence from any quarter. This independence is vital for the functioning of a democracy. It ensures that the judiciary can act as a check on the other branches of government, preventing any abuse of power or violation of constitutional rights. The judiciary must be free to interpret the laws and the Constitution without fear or favour. The judiciary plays a crucial role in upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of citizens. If the judiciary is not independent, it cannot perform its constitutional duties effectively. It must be free from political interference or influence, as this would undermine its credibility and impartiality. The independence of the judiciary is essential for maintaining public trust in the legal system. If people believe that the judiciary is not independent, they will lose faith in the administration of justice. This can lead to a breakdown of the rule of law and a loss of confidence in the democratic process.
  1. The independence of the judiciary is a cornerstone of democracy. It safeguards the rights and liberties of individuals, ensures the separation of powers, and maintains the integrity of the legal system. A free and impartial judiciary is essential for the functioning of a democratic society.
