In India, separation of judiciary from the executive is enjoined by
A
the Preamble of the Constitution
B
a Directive Principle of State Policy
Correct Answer
C
the Seventh Schedule
D
the conventional practice
Explanation
Article 50, located within the Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV), explicitly mandates that the State shall take steps to separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services. While the Seventh Schedule is a common distractor because it deals with the "division of powers," it specifically governs the distribution of legislative subjects between the Union and States rather than the functional separation of government organs. This question tests the core concept of the Separation of Powers and the specific constitutional provisions that uphold it.
