The work that the Judiciary does can be divided into the following :
1. Dispute Resolution - The judicial system provides a mechanism for resolving disputes between citizens, between citizens and the government, between two state governments and between the centre and state governments.
2. Judicial Review - As the final interpreter of the constitution, the Judiciary also has the power to strike down particular laws passed by the Parliament if it believes that these are a violation of the basic structure of the constitution. This is called judicial review.
3. Upholding the Law and Enforcing Fundamental Rights - Every citizen of India can approach the Supreme Court or the High Court if they believe that their fundamental rights have been violated.
