Answer: It protects our fundamental rights which are present in Part -3 Article 12 to 32 . Article 32 gives citizens right to Constitutional remedies.

It cross checks whatever policy is being formulated by the government. If the government makes any rule which is not in it's purview than judiciary comes into action and corrects the government.

Any dispute between central government - state government or any other cases dealing with government eg- Vodafone Tax issue , Triple talaq etc are judged by judiciary.

High court and supreme Court can also issue various writs while , HC has broad power in issuing writs.

Judiciary can act through suo Moto power or Public Interest litigation. It also has power of judicial activism and judicial restraint too.

Hope these points are enough to know why judiciary is important and is guardian of our constitution.

Hope it helps!!
