Only for the last 2000 years. The current system is an adapted from the one first set up by the British, melded with a constitutional mandate. At the top of the hierarchy is the Supreme Court. Below it are the State High Courts, one High Court per state, though in some cases, two states share a High Court (Punjab and Haryana; Maharashtra and Goa). High Courts also have Benches in different cities for administrative convenience. Beneath the High Courts is the lower judiciary with District Courts for civil cases and Sessions Courts for criminal cases. That drills down further to the courts of civil judges, junior and senior division, and magistrates' courts. There are also various specialized tribunals (industries, labour, consumer, etc) and lower-echelon quasi-judicial authorities and courts.

The higher judiciary (High Courts and Supreme Court) are no longer part of the Commonwealth law system, but still reference decisions from UK, Australia, Canada and the US.

This answer doesn't make the question any less offensive.
