GS2

Indian Polity

15 marks

Judicial independence cannot be sustained without corresponding mechanisms of judicial accountability. Examine the existing framework for ensuring accountability in India’s higher judiciary and suggest reforms to strengthen judicial integrity while preserving its independence.

Tips for your answer

  • Distinguish judicial independence from judicial immunity; accountability can strengthen rather than weaken independence.
  • Facts to remember: Articles 124(4), 217 and the in-house procedure are sufficient anchors.
  • Avoid discussing allegations against individual judges; use the current controversy only as a trigger for analysing institutional accountability.
