Administration of justice is the primary function of the judiciary. However, the judiciary performs certain other function too. These functions may be judicial in character but some of these functions are non-judicial in nature. Firstly, when a dispute is brought before a court, it is the responsibility of the court to ‘determine the facts’ involved. The usual manner in which the courts determine the facts is through evidence given by the contestants.
