Which is NOT correct about the independence of the judiciary in our country? |
The judiciary has the power to penalise those who are found guilty of contempt of court. The judges are financially dependent on both the executive and legislature for their salaries and allowances. The Constitution prescribes a very difficult procedure for removal of judges. The legislature is not involved in the process of appointment of judges. |
The judges are financially dependent on both the executive and legislature for their salaries and allowances. |
The correct answer is Option 2 - The judges are financially dependent on both the executive and legislature for their salaries and allowances. Judges are not financially dependent on the executive or legislature for their salaries and allowances. Their salaries and allowances are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India and are not subject to the control of the executive or legislature. Therefore, the correct statement should be: "The judges are financially independent, and their salaries and allowances are not subject to the control of the executive or legislature." |
