💡 Analysis & Explanation
Directive Principles Framework ▼
Part IV of the Indian Constitution outlines the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), which act as guiding principles for the state in governance and policy-making.
Specific Constitutional Article ▼
Article 50 explicitly directs the State to take steps to separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State.
Purpose of Separation ▼
This separation ensures judicial independence, fairness in trials, and prevents the concentration of power, acting as a crucial check and balance mechanism.
Conclusion ▼
The constitutional mandate for this separation clearly stems from a Directive Principle of State Policy, specifically Article 50.
