What is judiciary?

The judiciary is like a group of smart friends who help make sure everyone follows the rules fairly.

Imagine you and your friend are playing a game, but one of you thinks the rules aren’t being followed correctly. That’s when someone else, maybe a teacher or a parent, steps in to listen to both sides and decides what should happen next. The judiciary is like that fair person, but for bigger problems, like when people don't agree on something important.

How It Works

In the real world, the judiciary is made up of judges and courts. When people have a disagreement, maybe about money, or if someone broke a rule, they can go to court. The judge listens carefully and makes a decision that both sides must follow.

Sometimes, the judge’s decision can even change how rules are followed in the future. It's like when you and your friends decide on new rules for your game so everyone plays more fairly next time.

Just like a teacher helps make sure games are fair, the judiciary helps keep life fair for everyone.
