The India Democracy has three pillars which are legislature, Executive and Judiciary. Legislature main function is enactment and formulation of laws. Executive a system of checks and balances ensures that no organ wields excessive power. Administration of justice is the main function of judiciary. India has a strong legal system which is divided into different levels. It is divided to provide justice to each and every citizen in every possible circumstances. The different levels are:

• The Supreme Court
• The High Court

The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is considered as the guardian of the Constitution of India. The Supreme Court has the highest status as an Appellate court. Under Article 124(1) of Indian Constitution the Supreme Court is established. It is the supreme judicial body of India. The jurisdiction and composition of the Supreme Court is defined under Article 124-127 of Indian Constitution. The writ petition is accepted by the Supreme Court. Article 32 gives right to the people to move to the Supreme Court if his/her fundamental right is violated. The Supreme Court of India has 1 Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges. The current Chief Justice of India is, Justice Sharad Arvind Bobde and he is the 47th Chief Justice of India. English is the official language of the Supreme Court.

The second highest court in Indian Judicial system is the High Courts. The High Courts are the subordinate to the Supreme Court The have jurisdiction over the state in which the court is situated and some courts have jurisdiction over multiple states. However, they have entirely different jurisdictions and are of operation than the Supreme Court.  The appeal from lower court and writ petitions which are conferred by the virtue of Article 226 is the main work of the High court.

On the basis of number of cases and the population distribution in a district such decisions are taken. District courts judgements are appealable in subsequent high courts. District or session judge court is the highest court in a district. The jurisdiction of district court is derived from the code of Civil Procedure in the civil matter.
