INTRODUCTION

The history of Judiciary in India dates long back the period of civilization which was governed by Natural laws or the self proclaimed divine rules. According to these laws and theories, the sovereign had the most legitimate authority to rule a particular territory and they were considered the sole minister of justice, as was believed by the scholars of that era that God himself has granted them the divine right to rule. This was assumed because the Indian society in its budding age was classified on the basis of the occupation (Varna). It was derived from the Ancient Vedic Texts; this was very flexible noble form of division of the society, allowing people to change their social stratum in relation to their proclivity toward a particular line of occupation permitting mobility in their social conditions. This comprehensive system of division of labor and social status promoted harmony and order in the society. This form societal structure also laid down certain moral and theological procedures provisions to resolve conflict in the society if any which were called the rules according to the Dharma or the way life.
