 The Judiciary is a distinct and independent arm of Government
entrusted with judicial authority, and mandated to administer
and deliver justice to the people of India. It plays a fundamental
role in the promotion of law and order, human rights, social
justice, morality and good governance.
The independence of the Judiciary is guaranteed by the constitution
in a number of its provisions regarding among others, the
appointment, removal, salary and other conditions of service
of judicial officers. The core of the Judiciary's independence
is the absence of any interference for the Executive or the
Legislature in judicial decisions.
The mandate of the Judiciary is to establish and facilitate
effective and efficient machinery capable of functioning as
an adjudicating authority in India and of quickly administering
and delivering justice and related services to the people
of India.
The key function of the Judiciary is therefore, the adjudication
of civil and criminal cases. In addition, it interprets the
constitution and gives effect to its provisions, as well as
providing the expertise in interpreting of the laws. Further,
the Judiciary performs other related duties in promotion of
human rights, social justice and morality.
