New Delhi: Months after the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) withdrew its Class 8 Social Science textbook following objections over a chapter on judicial corruption, the council's newly introduced Class 9 Political Science textbook presents the judiciary as an "impartial and independent institution" that safeguards citizens' rights and upholds the Constitution.
The revised textbook, introduced under the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), explains the doctrine of separation of powers and says the judiciary functions independently of the legislature and the executive.
