Overview of the Indian Judicial System

In this episode, we will discuss the Union Judiciary of India, which is the highest court in the country. We will cover the structure of the Supreme Court, its jurisdiction and powers, and some of the landmark cases that it has decided. We will start by discussing the judicial structure in India. The Indian judiciary is a unitary system, which means that there is a single hierarchy of courts throughout the country. The Supreme Court is at the top of the hierarchy, followed by the High Courts, and then the lower courts. Next, we will discuss the jurisdiction and powers of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has original, appellate, and advisory jurisdiction. Its original jurisdiction is limited to a few specific types of cases, such as disputes between the Union government and the states. Its appellate jurisdiction is much broader, and it can hear appeals from decisions of the High Courts. The Supreme Court also has advisory jurisdiction, which means that it can give its opinion on legal matters to the government. Finally, we will discuss some of the landmark cases that the Supreme Court has decided. These cases have had a significant impact on the development of Indian law and society. For example, the Supreme Court has decided cases on issues such as the right to privacy, the right to education, and the right to a clean environment.
