Article 32, Article 226, Constitution, executive, legislature and judiciaryAbstract
Government of India has three branches; namely executive, legislature and judiciary. In this
Article, we are going to talk about the judiciary of India. Judiciary in India is independent of
the other two forms of government. It works as an organization in itself, which has its own
officials. Judicial Service is not considered a service in sense of an employment. It is the
branch of authority in a country which is concerned with law and the legal system who
resolve the disputes between the citizen and the state between state and the union and the
various organs of the state itself and provides justice to them. The Indian Judiciary consist of
the Supreme Court at Union Level, High Court at state level and District court at Every
District level. There is only one Supreme Court which acts as final interpreter, guardian of
the Constitution whose decision is binding on lower and subordinate courts i.e., High Court
and District Court, under Article 141 of Constitution of India. The Supreme Court has
defined the basic structure of Constitution through the case of kesavananda bharti. Every
procedure and courts works in hierarchy putting Supreme Court at top and District court at
bottom. Supreme Court can hear appeal from High court under Article 132. Under Article
214, there shall be a High Court in each state and all High Courts have same status under
Constitution. The Constitution empowers Supreme Court and High Court to issue writs in
case of violation of fundamental rights under Article 32 and 226 of Constitution respectively.
The High Court can interfere with the order under Article 227. In every state there shall be
Courts of session, Judicial or Metropolitan Magistrates of first class, Judicial Magistrates of
second class and Executive Magistrates.
