Abstract

The Indian Constitution give High Courts the power to issue writs to authorities, directing them to take or avoid from taking activities that are needed by law and the Constitution. Even before independence, several Indian High Courts had some few writs jurisdiction; however, the true extent and berth of this power have only been fully pour by High Courts after the Indian Constitution, which guarantees basic rights, came into effect. All Indian courts are obligated to provide appellate and supervisory jurisdiction over district and subordinate courts within the territories they oversee. This means that high courts may have the most extensive caseload of any court level. Research has indicated that the maximum Due to a combination of a lack of human resources and an inadequate case load, High Courts in India frequently experience delays and backlogs in cases. The community of the court to judge whether legislative acts are constitutional is called as judicial review of legislative acts. Enabling judicial review of State security measures that result in an unauthorized deprivation of an individual's liberty is the primary goal of writ of habeas corpus. Instead, then punishing any officials in charge of their incarceration, the purpose of the writ is to release the individual from unlawful cure. These are the writs that are explicitly mentioned in the Constitution tonight: Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Certiorari, Prohibition, and Quo Warranto. All forms of the government apart from dictatorship must have a robust, impartial, and independent judiciary. The judiciary is essential to the interpretation and application of the law in any nation and resolving conflicts that arise between citizens as well as between citizens and the state. When a written constitution is in place, the courts also carry out the expensive duty of conserve the supremacy of the document by explain and distinguish its provisions and check that all authorities endure within it enclose.
