The assertion reflects the fundamental role of the judiciary in upholding justice. The reason provides the philosophical justification for this, often summarized by the maxim 'justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done.' Transparency is a critical component of procedural fairness, ensuring public trust in the legal system. Therefore, the reason directly supports and explains why courts prioritize fairness.

This tripartite structure allows the judiciary to act as a check on the other branches of government, maintaining the balance of power.
