| The [[Supreme Court of India]] ({{lang-hi|भारत का सर्वोच्च न्यायालय}}) is the highest judicial forum and the final court of appeal of [[India]], established under the [[Constitution of India]], according to which the Supreme Court is the highest constitutional court and acts as the guardian of the Constitution. India has an integrated and yet independent judiciary.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.lawji.in/2017/04/judicial-activism-v-judicial-adventurism.html|title=Judicial activism v.

| Since independence, the judiciary has played a very active role in dispensing justice; beginning with the ''[[A. K. Gopalan v. State of Madras]]'' case (1950) and the [[Basic structure doctrine|Shankari Prasad case]], etc. The judiciary remained submissive until the 1960s, with the modern trend of judicial activism beginning in 1973 when the [[Allahabad High Court]] rejected the candidature of [[Indira Gandhi]] in [[State of Uttar Pradesh v. Raj Narain]]. The introduction of [[public interest litigation in India|public interest litigation]] by Justice [[V.R. Krishna Iyer]] further expanded its scope.<ref>T. R.
