Question

how can you say that the judiciary in India is independent and Powerful

Answer 1

The Indian Judiciary administers a common law system of legal jurisdiction, in which customs, precedents and legislation, all codify the law of the land. It has in fact, inherited the legacy of the legal system established by the then colonial powers and the princely states since the mid-19th century, and has partly retained characteristics of practices from the ancient[1] and medieval times.[2]

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 (Junior Division) at the bottom

Class Rank

Chief Justice Of SUPREME COURT OF INDIA First

Justice OF SUPREME COURT Second

Chief Justice OF HIGH COURTs Third

Justice OF HIGH COURTs Fourth

District & Session Judge / Fifth

Additional District & Session Judge Sixth

Chief Judicial Magistrate / ACJM / Civil Judge (Senior Division) Seventh

Sub -Divisional Judicial Magistrate /Judicial Magistrate Ist Class / Civil Judge (Junior Division) Eighth

Judicial Magistrate IInd Class Ninth

After this Executive Hierarchy start (well they are not Judicial officers but holds magistarial power to trial of such minor cases or low level or not serious level of Crime cases and which are not brought before the Civil Courts)

Answer 2

the Indian Constitution provides for the independence of the judiciary. it means that other brancjes of the state cannot interfere in the work of judiciary. the courts are not under the government. the court ensures that there is misuse of power. anyone can approach the court if their rights are being violated.
