What do you understand by Law? Also explain, how is Law enforced in a legal system?

Law: Law is a set of obligations and duties imposed by the government for securing welfare and providing justice to society. India’s legal framework reflects the social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of our vast and diversified country. Enforcement of Law: • After a law is passed in parliament it has to be enforced. Somebody should monitor whether the law is being followed. This is the job of the executive. • Depending on whether a law is a Central law or a State law the Central or State Government will be the enforcing authority. • For this purpose, government functions are distributed to various ministries. Some of the popular Ministries are the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Law and Justice and so on. These Ministries are headed by a minister and run by officers of the Indian administrative and other services. • The Government of India exercises its executive authority through a number of Government Ministries or Departments of State. A Ministry is composed of employed officials, known as civil servants, and is politically accountable through a minister. • Most major Ministries are headed by a Cabinet Minister, who sits in the Union Council of Ministers, and is typically supported by a team of junior ministers called the Ministers of State.
