ABSTRACT
The doctrine of Separation of Powers was first mentioned in the writings of Montesquieu in the Spirit of the Laws, where he alludes to the division of governmental tasks into three distinct branches to prevent any one department from infringing on the purview of another. Checks and balances are included with the intention of preventing the concentration of power. India or even England are not subject to the same strict division of powers as the United States or Australia. Although not strictly adhered to, separation of powers is practiced in India. The three major branches of the government all contribute to one another's work in some way.
