ABSTRACT


This project looks at the importance of customary practices within India’s legal system, specifically focusing on how they protect the rights and cultural heritage of native and local groups. The study starts by looking at how the Indian Constitution recognizes customs as a valid legal source, highlighting their coexistence with laws made by the government. It explores the characteristics of customs, how they are categorized, and the standards for their acceptance, showing how they have developed and become officially recognized rules. The research also points out significant court cases that have influenced the interpretation and use of customary laws, showing how they are in line with the constitution’s principles of justice, equality, and human rights.
