Know our Indian Judicial Heirarchy - Part 1

This post is specifically intended to help the reader to understand the Indian judicial hierarchy starting from Junior Civil Judge to Cheif Justice of India and will also try to extend in describing the jurisdictions of each level in the Indian Judiciary.

Every state has a HighCourt which is the top most judiciary body of the state which controls the various courts at every district level.

Administrative Flow

Highcourt--->District court--->Cheif Judicial Magistrate Court--->Sub Court --->Judicial Magistrate (or) District Munsif


Let us view the it from lower level(District Level and Taluk level)
