Abstract
This paper comments upon how the Apex Court of a democracy generally dispenses justice in an impartial manner and is largely not influenced by the political climate. In the initial part of the paper, I have reflected upon the ideas of separation of powers, independence of judiciary, and meaning of justice. Then, I have tried to put my observations about the Supreme Court of United Kingdom. Thereafter, I have discussed about the Supreme Court of India in detail by stating how this court functions impartially in delivering justice. I have also remarked on some instances in the past where I felt the Supreme Court of India might have been deterred by the political climate to deliver an impartial judgement. Then, I have discussed some recent cases decided by the Indian Supreme Court to portray the present scenario.
