1) Explain the judicial system of India?


Ans.The judicial system of India is a complex and hierarchical
structure that consists of various levels of courts, each with
specific jurisdictions and functions. Here is an overview of the
judicial system in India:
Supreme Court of India:
• The Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority in the
country. It is located in New Delhi and serves as the final court
of appeal. The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to hear
cases involving constitutional matters and disputes between
the central government and states. It also has appellate
jurisdiction over decisions of the High Courts and other
tribunals.
High Courts:
• Each state in India has a High Court, which is the highest
court within the state's jurisdiction. High Courts have both
original and appellate jurisdiction. They hear cases that fall
within their territorial jurisdiction and also serve as appellate
courts for decisions made by lower courts and tribunals within
the state.
District Courts:
• Below the High Courts are the District Courts, which are
situated in various districts across the country. Each state is
divided into districts, and each district has its own District
Court.
Subordinate Courts:
• Subordinate or lower courts are further divided into civil and
criminal courts. These include the Civil Judge (Junior Division),
Civil Judge (Senior Division), Chief Judicial Magistrate, and
Judicial Magistrate of the first class, among others.
{.Tribunals
• India has specialized tribunals to handle specific areas of law
and disputes. Examples include the National Green Tribunal, the
Central Administrative Tribunal, and the Income Tax Appellate
Tribunal. These tribunals have jurisdiction over matters related
to environmental law, administrative issues, and taxation,
respectively.
Constitutional Courts:
• Apart from the regular judicial hierarchy, there are also special
courts with constitutional powers, such as the National Human
Rights Commission (NHRC) and the State Human Rights
Commissions (SHRCs), which address human rights violations.
Gram Nyayalayas:
• In rural areas, the Gram Nyayalayas were established to
provide access to justice at the grassroots level. These village-
level courts aim to simplify legal procedures and enhance the
accessibility of justice to the rural population.
In summary, India's judicial system comprises a hierarchical
structure, with the Supreme Court at the apex, followed by the
High Courts, District Courts, subordinate courts, specialized
tribunals, constitutional courts, and Gram Nyayalayas. This
multi-tiered system is designed to provide access to justice and
address legal matters at various levels of complexity and
jurisdiction.
