Components of Legal System

Components of Legal System

·      Police and Law Enforcement

Law enforcement in India is performed by numerous law enforcement agencies. Like many federal nations, the nature of the Constitution of India mandates law and order as a subject of the state, therefore the bulk of the policing lies with the respective states and territories of India.

On an international level, organizations like Interpol handle law enforcement.

 

·      Judiciary

The Indian Judiciary administers a common law system of legal jurisdiction, in which customs, precedents and legislation, all codify the law of the land.

There are various levels of judiciary in India – different types of courts, each with varying powers depending on the tier and jurisdiction bestowed upon them. They form a strict hierarchy of importance, in line with the order of the courts in which they sit, with the Supreme Court of India at the top, followed by High Courts of respective states with district judges sitting in District Courts and Magistrates of Second Class and Civil Judge at the bottom.

Judiciary is one of the three pillars of our country and has an extremely role to play in our legal system.

 

·      Prosecution

Public prosecution is an important component of the public justice system. Prosecution of an offender is the duty of the executive, which is carried out through the institution of the Public Prosecutor. The public prosecutor is appointed by the State, and he conducts prosecution on behalf of the State.

 

·      Non Governmental Organizations

These are not for profit organizations that focus onto bringing in a societal change. Few NGOs focus on development of legal system such as Human Rights Law Network in Mumbai. NGOs in the recent decades have got recognition for their contribution and are on the rise.
