In order maintain the trust and belief of people in the system; the judicial organisations have come up with many speedy trails procedures in recent times.
The judicial system of India is mainly classified into three hierarchical courts. They are: Supreme Court, High Court, Sub-ordinate courts. The rules to be followed along with the procedure to go forward while awarding the justice is clearing mentioned through various acts and laws of which Constitution forms a basic and fundamental part alongside Civil Procedure Code and Criminal Procedure Code dealing with offences classified into various forms for better understanding.

The phase of British period from 1600 A.D to 1947 A.D and the Post-Independence Period from 1947 onwards help build a structure of court for India.
