Part IV — Directive Principles

Article50

Separation of judiciary from executive

The State shall take steps to separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State.

In plain language

The State should separate the judiciary from the executive in its public services, so the people who judge cases are not the same people who run the administration.
