Judicial integrity

Judicial integrity refers to the adherence of the judiciary to ethical standards, impartiality, and the rule of law, ensuring that judicial decisions are based solely on legal principles rather than external pressures, personal bias, or corrupt influences.

Why it matters

  • Maintains public trust and confidence in the administration of justice as the final arbiter of constitutional disputes.
  • Ensures the protection of fundamental rights by preventing executive or legislative overreach.
  • Upholds the independence of the judiciary, which is a core feature of the basic structure of the Constitution.

How it is asked

Focus on the relationship between judicial accountability and independence, the role of the Code of Judicial Ethics, and the impact of institutional transparency on the legitimacy of the legal system.
