What to Focus On

  • The Judiciary interprets laws.
  • It punishes law breakers.
  • India has an independent, uniform, and integrated judicial set-up.
  • The Supreme Court is the highest court in India.
  • It has the Chief Justice and 33 other judges.
  • The President appoints the judges.
  • Original jurisdiction means hearing a case for the first time.
  • Constitutional interpretation cases can go directly to the Supreme Court.
  • Centre-State and inter-State disputes are under original jurisdiction.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Supreme Court only hears cases after they go through lower courts.

The Supreme Court and the High Court have the same level in the judicial system.

All Supreme Court judges are appointed by the President in the same way, and the Chief Justice has no special role.
