The Supreme Court of India is the country’s apex court and the final place for an appeal. Its judgments are binding on all other courts, and it serves as the final interpreter of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court came into existence on 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme court was Justice H.J. Kania. Consisting of the Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges, it has extensive powers in the form of original, appellate and advisory jurisdictions. As the final court of appeal, the Supreme Court takes up appeals primarily against verdicts of the high courts of various states of the Union and other courts and tribunals. It safeguards fundamental rights of citizens and settles disputes between various governments in the country.

Excellent article!
Problem with the Narendra Modi government is, they have been setting one after the other never-before precedents. CJI P. Sathasivam became the governor of Kerala WITHIN MONTHS of retiring. So naturally other judges like Mr Sen are busy endearing themselves to Mr Modi. There was also another example of some justice Goel of the Supreme Court who I think joined a job the very next day after retirement. What exactly is Mr Modi trying to achieve, a complete destruction of norms in this country?
