Indian Legal System: Study Material

The Indian legal system is very rich and extensive. Several present-day laws, Acts, legislation, rules, and procedures in the country are derived from the charters passed by the British who ruled India for around 300 years. The first charter was passed by Queen Elizabeth I of England, which allowed the London merchants to trade in the countries of East India. Various other charters were passed by the British government till the final charter of the Indian Independence Act, 1947.
