Which of the following statements are correct in the context of the Indian Constitution?

2.A separation of functions rather than powers is followed.
3.All organs of the government are independent.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1 and 2 only.
The correct statements in the context of the Indian Constitution are 1 and 2 only.
- The Indian government comprises three major organs: the Legislature (Parliament), Executive (the President and Council of Ministers), and Judiciary (Supreme Court and other courts).
- The Constitution emphasizes a separation of functions among these organs rather than a strict separation of powers, allowing for checks and balances.
- However, statement 3 is incorrect, as while each organ functions independently, they are interdependent, with checks to ensure no single organ oversteps its authority.
