Salient Features of The Constitution 3

Single Integrated Judicial System

India has a single integrated judicial system. The Supreme Court stands as the apex court
of the judicial system. Below the Supreme Court are the High Courts. The High Courts
control and supervise the lower courts. The Indian judiciary, thus, stands like a pyramid
with the lower courts as the base, High Courts in the middle and the Supreme Court at the
top.

Independence of Judiciary

Indian judiciary is independent an impartial. The Indian judiciary is free from the influence
of the executive and the legislature. The judges are appointed on the basis of their
qualifications and cannot be removed easily.
