Discussion
Assertion (A) : In India, the judiciary is independent of the executive.
Reason (R) : It has no interference in the affairs of the state nor can it be influenced by the government.
Select the correct option based on the statement and reason?
Answer: C
The key treats A as true and R as false. The assertion is a settled feature of the Constitution: the judiciary is independent of the executive, with security of tenure for judges and separation of the appointment and removal procedures from ordinary executive control. The reason says the judiciary has no interference in the affairs of the state and cannot be influenced by the government. The key counts this as false, because the courts do review the actions of the state and the government and can strike them down, and because the executive has a part in appointments. The wording of R is loose, so the question depends on the key. The options that call R true, or A false, do not agree with it.
