This document provides an overview of India's legal system. It discusses that a legal system requires a defined land area, people, and government with international recognition. The Indian constitution established three branches of government - executive, legislature, and judiciary - based on the principle of separation of powers to prevent consolidation of power. The executive power is vested in the President. The legislature or parliament makes, reviews, and amends laws. The judiciary interprets laws and protects civil rights. Law is classified as substantive or procedural, and sources of law include customs, precedents, and legislation.
