Constitutional Position of Judiciary vs. Executive

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Though the executive enforces laws, the judiciary interprets them. Judges are appointed with executive involvement but serve independently, enjoying security of tenure. The President issues judicial appointments, yet the collegium recommends candidates. Conflict arises if the executive perceives judicial activism as encroachment. Landmark cases (NJAC verdict) reaffirmed judicial primacy in appointments. Meanwhile, the judiciary defers to executive discretion in policy unless rights are infringed. This delicate balance ensures no single organ dominates. Maintaining mutual respect, clear separation of roles, and transparency is vital for stable governance. Students must track this dynamic interplay shaping India’s constitutional ecosystem.
