The U.S. court system is divided into two administratively separate systems, the federal and the state, each of which is independent of the executive and legislative branches of government. One of the unique features of the Indian Constitution is that, notwithstanding the adoption of a federal system and existence of Central Acts and State Acts in their respective spheres, it has generally provided for a single integrated system of Courts to administer both Union and State laws.

At the apex of the entire judicial system, exists the Supreme Court of India below which are the High Courts in each State or group of States.

Below the High Courts, lies a hierarchy of Subordinate Courts.
