INDIAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT: A PERFECT BLEND OF BOTH COMMON LAW AND CIVIL LAW

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the Indian legal system. India is a sovereign nation with a written constitution that lays out the entire system of democratic organs that will govern the country's operations in detail. India is the largest democracy in the world and has the longest-written constitution in the world. It is also very diverse in terms of culture, religion, language, and standard of living, among other things. In the Indian legal system, the common and civil systems of law are briefly discussed. A brief discussion is provided of the Indian legal system's pre- and post-independence origins. The Indian legal system is based on both common law and civil law. They are the most widely used legal systems in the world, and this paper will briefly discuss their significance in the Indian legal system and their application to the current situation. The British ruled India for approximately 200 years. They came to trade with India and then ruled it. They needed a system that would control trade and disputes in order to rule. They followed common law, which was their system of government. In this paper, we will briefly talk about how India's civil system of law and common law were implemented when it gained independence.
