Subordinate Courts and District Judiciary

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Includes district courts, sessions courts, family courts, and other specialized tribunals. The district judge oversees judicial functions in civil and criminal matters, with sessions courts handling serious criminal cases. States also establish special courts for juveniles or consumer issues. These courts are supervised by the High Court, ensuring consistency in legal standards. The idea is to provide easy access to justice at the grassroots, though backlogs and resource constraints often hamper efficiency. Judicial reforms focus on fast-track courts, alternative dispute resolution methods (Lok Adalat, mediation), and e-courts to expedite case disposal. Understanding subordinate courts reveals the practical mechanics of India’s judicial system.
