A review of Parliamentary System and the Ministerial Positions
Keywords:
Parliamentary democracy, democratic upsurge, performanceAbstract
The Indian Supreme Court has been dubbed "the most powerful court in the world" because of its vast jurisdiction, its broad view of its own powers, and the billions of people it governs. There are a lot of "high-profile" cases that academics and policymakers know a lot about, but relatively little about the more routine, but considerably more frequent and perhaps equally significant judgments that the court makes. To remedy this discrepancy, study provides a thorough, empirical explanation of the Court's rulings from 2010 to 2015. For the first time, we use the most extensive original dataset of Indian Supreme Court opinions ever created to provide a broad, quantitative overview on social identity of the litigants who approach court, the types of matters they bring to it and their level if success, and the opinion-writing patterns of the various judges of the Supreme Court. This research lays the groundwork for future investigations into the Supreme Court and the role it plays in societal advancement.
