They also have the power to issue writs for the enforcement of fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India. 3. District Courts: Each district in India has a district court, which has jurisdiction over civil and criminal cases within the district. District courts are presided over by a district judge, who is assisted by additional district judges, sub-judges, and magistrates. 4. Tribunals: Tribunals are specialized courts that have been set up to deal with specific types of disputes or cases. Some examples of tribunals in India include the National Green Tribunal, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, and the Competition Appellate Tribunal. 5. Consumer Courts: Consumer courts have been set up at the district, state, and national level to deal with consumer disputes. These courts have the power to issue orders for compensation, refunds, or replacement of defective goods or services. 6. Lok Adalats: Lok Adalats are informal, community-based forums that are aimed at resolving disputes through conciliation and mediation. These are typically used for resolving minor civil disputes. These are some of the main types of legal institutions in India. In addition to these, there are several other legal bodies, including commissions, boards, and committees that have been set up to deal with specific legal issues.
