11. Which one of the following is not correctly matched? [U.P.P.C.S.(Pre) 2013]

(a) Article 39A - Equal Justice and Free Legal Aid
(b) Article 40 - Organization of Village Panchayats
(c) Article 44 - Uniform Civil Code
(d) Article 48 - Separation of Judiciary from Executive

Correct Answer: (d) Article 48 - Separation of Judiciary from Executive

Solution:The Separation of the Judiciary from the Executive is given in Article 50, while Article 48 provides for the organization of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. Thus, option (d) is matched incorrectly.

Separation of powers is the division of the legislative, executive, and judicial functions of government among separate and independent bodies.
The Legislature makes laws, the Executive puts those laws into effect, and the Judiciary administers justice by interpreting the law and ensuring that the law is upheld.
The purpose of separation is to limit the possibility of arbitrary excesses by the government.
Separation of powers also prevents misuse of power or accumulation of power in a few hands, which thereby safeguards the society from arbitrary and irrational power of the state.
