What is an independent judiciary?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Judicial independence is when a separation of the powers exists between the judicial branch of government and legislative and executive branches of government. The executive and legislative branches are unable to control or influence judges' decisions in any way and cannot have an impact upon their decisions or threaten to sack them if they make the 'wrong' decision. This should not be confused with judicial neutrality, which is when no member of government or the public is able to put pressure on judges to come to a decision which they would not normally reach, or otherwise upset the judge so that he/she cannot make up their minds with complete impartiality.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To dive the sense of security. Laws are made to force people to be good, because individuals are more controlled more by there passion and education alone can't make them good, so laws were created to scare people in being 'good'.
because law shows us right direction and without law we cannot judge what is true or wrong.
laws keep order and peace. if there was no laws there would be chaos.

Evaluate the contribution of supreme court of India in judicial activism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

one main reason that India needs a judicial system because it is a democracy. people's issues and complains when raised should be settled with justice. judiciary acts as a check on the legislature and executive ( organs of the state) . a country also needs to make sure that its as well as the people's problems are solved properly providing justice to those who deserve them and punishing others.

(in India the Supreme court is the highest. each state is divided into districts and each of these has a district court to look into the problems of the people in that particular area. the high court is the highest court in a state.)

Asked by Wiki User

The High Court is the highest court in the Australian judicial system. It was established in 1901 by Section 71 of the Constitution. The functions of the High Court are to interpret and apply the law of Australia; to decide cases of special federal significance including challenges to the constitutional validity of laws and to hear appeals, by special leave, from Federal, State and Territory courts.

The seat of the High Court is in Canberra, where it is located in its own building within the Parliamentary Triangle. The High Court building houses three courtrooms, Justices' chambers, and the Court's main registry, library, and corporate services facilities. In addition, there are offices of the High Court Registry in Sydney and Melbourne, staffed by officers of the High Court. In Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin and Perth, registry functions are performed on behalf of the High Court by officers of the Federal Court of Australia, and in Hobart they are performed by officers of the Supreme Court of Tasmania.
