What to Focus On

  • Rule of law is central to the judiciary.
  • Independence of judiciary protects fair justice.
  • Independence does not mean lack of accountability.
  • The President appoints judges after consulting the CJI.
  • The Council of Ministers influences judicial appointments.
  • The seniority convention for CJI was broken in 1973 and 1975.
  • India has a single integrated judicial system.
  • The judicial structure is pyramidal.
  • Supreme Court is at the top.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Supreme Court is just another court in the system, so lower courts and High Courts can also handle federal disputes in the same way.

Writ jurisdiction and judicial review mean the same thing.

The Supreme Court must always follow its own earlier decisions and cannot change them.
