Structure, hierarchy courts in india.

The court system in India is hierarchical, with the Supreme Court being the highest court of the land. The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review and is the final court of appeal for all cases in India. Below the Supreme Court are the High Courts, which are the highest courts in the state. The High Courts have appellate jurisdiction over the decisions of the lower courts within their respective states. The subordinate courts in India are the District Courts, the Session Courts, and the Metropolitan Courts. These courts are responsible for hearing cases related to civil and criminal matters that arise within their respective jurisdictions. The District Courts are primary civil courts in India and have original jurisdiction in civil cases within their specific districts.
