The Supreme Court of India (Hindi: भारत का सर्वोच्च न्यायालय) is the highest judicial forum and final court of appeal of India established under Constitution of India, as per which Supreme Court is the highest constitutional court and acts as the guardian of Constitution. India follow the integrated and yet independent judiciary.Since independence, judiciary has been playing a very active role in dispensing the justice since A K Gopalan vs State of Madras case(1950) followed by Shankari Prasad case, etc. However, judiciary remained submissive till 1960s but its assertiveness started in 1973 when Allahabad High Court rejected the candidature of Indira Gandhi and introduction of PIL by Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer further expanded its scope.
