Answer
The independence of judiciary does not mean that judiciary is not accountable to any
one. But it means:
No other organ of the government would restrain the functioning of judiciary.
The judges can perform their functions without any fear or favoritism.
Judiciary is accountable to the constitution of India, to the people of India and to the
democratic traditions.
