Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Indian legal system is derived from multiple authoritative sources. The Constitution of India is the supreme source of law, providing the framework for governance and the validity of all other laws [3]. Statutes (Statutory Law) refer to the laws enacted by the Parliament and State Legislatures under the authority granted by the Constitution. Customary Law remains a significant source, particularly in personal matters and specific tribal regions, provided it does not conflict with statutory or constitutional provisions [1]. Finally, Case Law (Judicial Precedent) is a vital source under Article 141, which mandates that the law declared by the Supreme Court is binding on all courts within India. Consequently, all four elements—the Constitution, statutes, customary law, and case law—constitute the primary sources of law in India.
