Answer
Under our Constitution the judiciary is a single integrated system of courts for the Union and the states with the Supreme Court at the apex. By the single integrated system we mean-
- The Supreme Court is the head of the entire system and not only supervises but also exercises control over the functioning of other courts.
- There are no separate sets of laws and a single civil and criminal system operates throughout the country.
- All cases coming from the Lower Courts can be taken to the High Court and ultimately to the Supreme Court, by way of appeal.
Below the Supreme Court stand the High Courts of different States and under each High Court there is a hierarchy of other subordinate courts.
