Judicial Reforms in India: An Analysis

The judiciary is the branch of government in charge of giving the law interpretation and context. It is the protector of democracy and the defender of the constitution. The Supreme Court sits at the head of an integrated system of courts serving both the Union and the states, as per the Indian constitution. The Supreme Court is at the summit of the pyramid, followed by the High courts, district courts, and lesser tribunals. This one integrated system can be visualized as a pyramid. The Supreme Court is in charge of the entire system and has authority over how other courts are run in addition to supervising them. There is only one civil and criminal system in place throughout the nation, and no distinct laws exist. Any case from the subordinate courts may be appealed to the High Court and, eventually, the Supreme Court.
