independence of the judiciary

Independence of the judiciary means that judges make decisions based solely on the law and facts, without outside influence from the government, political parties, or other interest groups. This ensures that justice is administered fairly and impartially. An independent judiciary maintains the rule of law by providing a check on power, protecting citizens' rights, and ensuring that laws are applied consistently. It is essential for trust in the legal system, as it guarantees that legal disputes are resolved without bias or undue pressure, upholding justice and democratic principles.
