    The Indian Judiciary has its origins in the British legal system established in the 19th century, and follows a hybrid system where customs, precedents, and laws are valid. There are various levels of courts in India's hierarchical judiciary system, with the Supreme Court at the top, followed by High Courts and lower courts. Courts hear both criminal and civil cases, including disputes between individuals and the government, and the judiciary is independent of the other branches of government.
