The judiciary of Uttarakhand is the continuation of the British Legal system established during the 19th century. Moreover, the Judiciary, the Executive and the Legislature are the three major constituents of the administration of Uttarakhand.
Initially, the judiciary of Uttarakhand, or broadly speaking the judiciary of India, was based on Kautilyas 'Arthashastra'. But with the expansion of the British colony in India, the policies of Arthashastra got replaced by the 'common law' proposed by the British Empire.
In fact, the judiciary of Uttarakhand was constituted in the year 2000, with its seat at Nainital. From that day onwards, the judiciary of Uttarakhand, that largely depends on the High Court of Uttarakhand has been operating in the old building situated at Mallital (Nainital).
Moreover, it can be said that the Judiciary of Uttarakhand or any other state of India is equivalent to its High Court. In fact, the entire judiciary or the jurisdiction of the State, and in this instance Uttarakhand, lies with the High Court. Therefore, it becomes the duty of the High Court to look after the sound existence of that state.
As result, the High Court of Uttarakhand forms the Judicial head in the State. In fact, it becomes the duty of the High Court to look after the State Police, and the law making bodies of the Uttarakhand. The District Courts, Sessions Court, Bar Councils, etc. fall under the purview of the Judiciary of Uttarakhand.
Although, all aforesaid departments under the judiciary of Uttarakhand are independent bodies that work under certain parameters; yet these bodies are made answerable to the High Court of Uttarakhand.
