Introduction toIndian JudicialSystemThough India’s legal system stretches back centuries, its modern judicial system is shaped by the Constitution of India, which was promulgated after India became independent from British rule in 1947. India has a single integrated system of Judiciary in view of a single Constitution. The judiciary in India acts as the custodian of the Indian Constitution and the protector of the Fundamental Rights. The Indian Judicial System is one of the oldest legal systems of the World. The Indian legal system was majorly influenced by the local customs and the religion.

The Constitution created three branches of government at the federal level: The Executive, often called the Union or Central Government; the Parliament; and the Judiciary, referred to in the Constitution as the Union Judiciary. The judiciary is unified. The highest court in the judicial system, and the final appellate court, is the Supreme Court of India.

History of Judicial SystemRegulating Act of 1773 established for the first time the Supreme Court of Fort Williams in Calcutta in 1774, consisting of the Chief Justice and three judges (later reduced to two) appointed by the Crown acting as King’s court. This court was adorned with powers such as power to punish for its contempt, power to try civil & criminal cases, ecclesiastical and admiralty jurisdiction etc.The year 1861 constituted a conspicuous landmark in the process of development of legal and judicial institutions in India. It was during this year that the steps were taken to establish High Courts at Calcutta, Madras and Bombay. These High Courts were not only better instruments of justice than the preceding courts, but also represented the amalgamation of the hitherto existing two disparate and distinct judicial systems, the Company’s Courts in the Provinces of Bengal, Bombay Madras, and the three Supreme Courts(established by the Royal Charter) in the

Presidency townA Federal Court at Delhi was established under the Government of India Act 1935. This court served as immediate precursor to current Supreme Court of India. It was composed of a Chief Justice and not more than six judges. It had original, appellate, and advisory jurisdiction. Its exclusive original jurisdiction was in all disputes between the federation and the units or between the units of the proposed federation. Appeal from the federal court could go to Privy Council without leave in case of original jurisdiction and with leave for any other matter. The Constituent Assembly passed the Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act in 1949 to abolish the jurisdiction of the Privy Council in respect of appeals from India and also to provide for pending appeals. With this, India’s supreme Court was established at top of the unitary judicial system in India.

Hierarchy of CourtsThe judicial system in India is integrated and pyramidal in structure with the Supreme Court at the top and the High Court and the other Subordinate Courts at the lower levels.There are various types of Courts in India, each has different powers depending on the tier and jurisdiction conferred on them. They function according to the set hierarchy of the courts.

Supreme CourtArticle 124(1) of the Indian Constitution states that there shall be a Supreme Court of India constituting of a Chief Justice of India. Initially, the Supreme Court of India consists of the Chief Justice of India and seven other judges. The strength of Supreme Court has been increased to 34 recently (33+1) and the current number of judges are 30 in Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of India is the highest court of appeal and is vested with various powers, it exercises original, appellate and advisory jurisdiction.


High CourtArticle 214 of the Indian Constitution states that there shall be a High Court for each State. The High Court consist of one Chief Justice and other judges. The President appoints the Chief Justice of the High Court in consultation with the Chief Justice of India while other judges were appointed by the President in consultation with the Governor of the state, Chief Justice of the High Court as well as the Chief Justice of India. The total number of High Courts in India are 25 in number.

Lower Courts or Lower JudiciarySupreme Court and High Courts are empowered to hear both civil as well as criminal cases but in lower judiciary, there is division of Civil and Criminal Courts.

Civil courts deal with the cases or offences that are committed against a private individual and not against the State unlike in criminal cases where the offence is committed against the State. It includes District Court, Additional District Court, Munsiff court and Court of small causes for metropolitan cities. In India, the hierarchy of Civil Courts is based on the territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction of the courts. Civil Courts can deal with the cases

which have been committed within its territory and also which is within the pecuniary limits of the court. The District Court is the highest court of appeal for civil cases in the lower judiciary while Munsiff court is the lowest court of appeal for civil cases in the district.

Criminal wrong is a wrong against the whole society and not only against the victim. The hierarchy of the Criminal Courts in India is given in Section 6 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 which is given as follows:

Session CourtJudicial Magistrate of the first class

Judicial Magistrate of the second class

Executive Magistrate

The judges of the Criminal courts derive their power from Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 where the maximum punishment that can be awarded by the judges has been provided under Section 27-29 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973.

The three-layer judicial system is necessary for the proper functioning of the judiciary in a big country like India to ensure proper justice to the citizens of a country.
