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

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
