Explanation

The Indian Legal System is a comprehensive framework comprising several interconnected components. First, it is anchored by the basic values and principles enshrined in the Constitution, which serves as the supreme law of the land. Second, it includes the rights and obligations conferred by ordinary statutes, which are enacted by the legislature to regulate various aspects of society [5]. Third, it encompasses an organizational set-up, specifically an integrated and independent judiciary, designed to enforce these rights and obligations within constitutional norms [3]. Finally, the system involves legal and judicial persons, including the judges, lawyers, and legal entities that facilitate the administration of justice [5]. The Constitution defines the structure and functions of these organs, ensuring a system of checks and balances and the rule of law [1]. Thus, all four elements are essential components of the legal system.
