Legal Positivism is a set of rules asserting the connection among law, justice, and morality. It is an important element of jurisprudence and occupies a high position in the legal theory. It advocates that laws are made deliberately or unintentionally by human beings and the purpose of all laws are, more or less, equal. Legal Positivism attempts to define law by firmly affixing its meaning to written decisions made by governmental bodies that are endowed with the legal power to regulate the particular areas of society and human conduct.

The legal system is a set of rules and norms enforced through institutions, which affect the society in different ways. The judiciary may apply the rules related to the interpretation of statutes to the legislations or to administrative agency regulations. The process of interpretation and application of legislation is termed as statutory interpretation. Thus statutes are the written laws of a country, ratified by the government and the judiciary is largely responsible for the interpretation of law wherever required during the administration of justice.
