Balemla Babu

Abstract :

 The Indian Legal System is one of the oldest legal systems in the entire history of the world. It has altered as well as developed over the past few centuries to absorb inferences from the legal systems across the world. The Constitution of India is the fountainhead of the Indian Legal System. It demonstrates the Anglo–Saxon character of judiciary which is basically drawn from the British Legal System. India is a land of diversified culture, local customs and various conventions which are not in opposition to the statue or ethics. People of different religions as well as traditions are regulated by all the different sets of personal laws in order to relate to family affairs.

The judicial system or Indian legal system is a unique feature of the Indian Constitution. The Supreme Court of India is the uppermost part in the Indian legal system. Under this, each state or a group of states possesses High Courts. There are several subordinate courts under these High Courts. India has an organic law as consequence of common law system. Through judicial pronouncements and legislative action, this has been fine–tuned for Indian conditions. The Indian legal system’s move towards a social justice paradigm, though undertook independently, can be seen to mirror the changes in other territories with common law system.

This paper will focus on the drastic changes and their influence in modern Indian judiciary system because India has been the home of four major legal traditions, Hindu, Muslim, British, and that of modern, independent India. Important elements of the earlier traditions remained in each new system, and ail of the earlier traditions are present in contemporary Indian law.
