Question
Why do we say that India has a single integrated judiciary?
✓
Answer
(1) In the federal states like the USA there are two hierarchies of courts - Federal and State working side by side. (2) Although India has adopted federal system, there are no two judicial hierarchies.
(3) The pyramidical structure of the Indian Judiciary has the Supreme Court as the apex court, the High Court at the intermediate level and below these are subordinate courts at the district and the taluka level.
(4) Appeals against the decisions of the District Courts can be filed in the High Court and appeals against the decisions of the High Court are admitted and decided by the Supreme Court. Therefore, we say that India has a single integrated judiciary.
