• B. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true, but (R) is false
• D. (A) is false, but (R) is true

Hint:

Assertion (A) : In India, the judiciary is independent of the executive. Reason (R) : Judiciary favour the government and helps in implementation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Assertion (A): The Constitution of India provides for the separation of powers between the legislature, executive, and judiciary. It explicitly ensures the independence of the judiciary from the executive and legislature to enable impartial justice and uphold the rule of law. Thus, the assertion is true. Reason (R): The very principle of judicial independence implies that the judiciary should be impartial and should *not* favour the government or any other party. Its role is to interpret the law and Constitution without bias and act as a check on the executive, not merely help in implementation by favouring the government. Therefore, the reason contradicts the concept of judicial independence and is false. Since (A) is true and (R) is false. This matches option (3).
