The legal system defines a set of rules, conduct and procedures which are necessary for establishing and maintaining a disciplined society. It has been formulated by custom, agreement and national interests and is enforced through a set of institutions. The legal system is critical as it shapes politics, economics and society in various ways and acts as the best social mediator in relations between people and institutions.
The Indian Legal system is one of the oldest and longest written set of laws in the world. Our legal system has its roots in the legislature formulated during the British Raj era. The Indian legal system is formulated baring in mind the diversity of the country and with due respect to the religion, customs and traditions of the people. For instance the Indian Divorce act is different for Hindus and Muslims which is aligned to their respective religious guidelines.
