Abstract:

The doctrine of separation of power being considered as an important pillar of democracies, had to demarcate the governmental power, authority or function into distinct entities to avoid misuse of such power. The origination of doctrine can be traced back to Aristotle and Roman Republic. Subsequently, developed by John Locke and Montesquieu. Further founding fathers of U.S.A inserted the element of doctrine into their Constitution. Major democratic countries like the U.S.A, the U.K, India, etc. inserted more or less the elements of the doctrine either into their constitution or impliedly in use.
