As an essential functions of the state ,the law and order within the state is maintained through the Administration of justice . The administration of justice in reaching its present form passed through various stages .

In the primitive society when any wrong was done against any individual ,he had to resort to self-help and it was based on private vengeance .But later on ,when individuals organised themselves in society ,certain rights were recognised by the society .if a wrong was done against the individual it was abhorred by the society and it made efforts to provide remedy to the individual wronged.

Gradually the society evolved and the state came into Being ,for the protection of the citizen , and for its own protection it was necessary for  the state to maintain law and order. This was the beginning of the Administration of justice .

The state protects the rights and enforces the duties of its citizens .if any individual is violated by another ,the latter is to redress it or he is punished.State for the protection of the citizen appoints persons to adjudicate the rights and duties ,in this way ,courts came into being . Gradually a well organized judicial order developed in the society .
