Explanation

Article 50 of the Constitution of India, located in Part IV under the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), explicitly mandates:

– *’The State shall take steps to separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State.’*
– This constitutional directive aims to preserve judicial independence and prevent executive bias in criminal adjudication, leading to legislative reforms such as the enactment of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, which formally decoupled the functions of judicial magistrates from executive magistrates.

Therefore, separation of the judiciary from the executive is enjoined by a Directive Principle of State Policy — Option B.
