Indian legal system

The Indian legal system is based on the Constitution of India, which serves as the supreme law. It includes various laws derived from statutes, regulations, and customary practices. The system is divided into civil and criminal law, addressing private disputes and offenses against the state, respectively. The judiciary is independent, with the Supreme Court at the top, followed by High Courts and lower courts. Legal processes such as trials, appeals, and enforcement of rights are guided by established procedures, aiming to ensure justice, maintain order, and protect individual freedoms within a democratic framework.
