In the traditional division between the various organs of the legal system, the role of the judiciary comes into play once the statute is enacted. In the process of interpretation of various statutes, the judiciary promotes or impedes the objective of a law - a process which is of special significance in the context of social change. The Judiciary in India performs various important functions and role which does not remain confined within water tight compartment. The importance of the judiciary in democratic society can hardly be exaggerated. It is a part of democratic process. It not only administers justice, it protects the rights of the citizens and it acts as the interpreter and guardian of the constitution. It is actively involved in systematically dismantling the legislation for the protection of vulnerable groups[1].
