ABSTRACT

The Indian Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It provides for an independent judicial system wherein law courts function in a hierarchical manner. Our Constitution serves as a backbone to the working of the three branches of Government- Legislature; Executive and the Judiciary. As far the drafting of laws, rules, bills and enactments are concerned, much power is endowed upon the Legislature. However, there always arises a room for clash when these laws are adjudicated by the Judiciary. The question of which branch of the government shall prevail has always been a matter of debate and this bone of contention is left to be resolved by taking into account our constitutional principles and provisions.

Keywords: Constitution, Legislature, Judiciary.
