Question

Consider the following Assertion [A] and Reasoning [R]:
[A] The Judge of a High Court is not a Government Servant.
[R] The relationship of Master and Servant between the Government and Judge would defeat judicial independence.
Choose the most suitable answer.

• A. Both [A] and [R] are true
• B. Both [A] and [R] are false
• C. [A] is false, but [R] is true
• D. [A] is true, but [R] is false

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Judges of High Courts are not considered government servants, as their independence is paramount in the judicial system. The government’s relationship with judges must not be one of master and servant, as this could undermine judicial independence.
