The doctrine of separation of powers is a fundamental principle in the Indian Constitution, although it is not explicitly stated. It serves to distribute powers among the three branches of government: the Legislature, the Executive, and the Judiciary, ensuring that no single branch becomes too powerful.
The doctrine of separation of powers in India is characterized by a flexible approach that allows for interaction among the branches of government while maintaining essential checks and balances. The judiciary plays a crucial role in upholding this doctrine through judicial review, ensuring that legislative and executive actions remain within constitutional limits. Understanding these principles is vital for navigating the complexities of the Indian legal system.
