The independence of judiciary is safeguarded, is also an essential feature that indicates that the Indian polity is federal in character.

In a federal system, an independent judiciary is crucial for ensuring that the Constitution is upheld and that the rights of citizens are protected. In India, the judiciary has the power of judicial review, which allows it to strike down any law or executive action that is deemed unconstitutional. This helps to maintain the balance of power between the central government and the states and prevents any one branch of government from becoming too powerful.
