The provision, ‘the State shall take steps to separate the Judiciary from the Executive in the public services of the State’ is incorporated in which part of the Constitution of India ?

The provision stating that 'the State shall take steps to separate the Judiciary from the Executive in the public services of the State' is explicitly mentioned in Article 50 of the Constitution of India. This article is a key component of the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), which are contained within Part IV of the Constitution . Part IV encompasses Articles 36 to 51 and serves as a set of constitutional instructions or recommendations to the State for formulating policies and enacting laws [2]. The separation of powers between the executive and the judiciary is considered essential for the effective working of the government and the independence of the judicial system [3]. While some directives exist outside Part IV, such as those in Part XVI, the specific mandate for judicial separation is firmly rooted in the DPSP framework of Part IV [1].
