Constitutional Provisions
- The framework for subordinate courts is outlined in the sixth part of the Indian Constitution.
- Articles 233 to 237 specifically address the organization and functioning of subordinate courts.
This concept extends from the supervisory and appellate jurisdiction of the High Court. It empowers the High Court to withdraw cases from subordinate courts if they involve significant legal questions. The High Court can either decide the case itself or resolve the legal question and send the case back to the original court.
Opinion Binding: The opinion provided by the High Court is mandatory for subordinate courts.
Administrative Matters: The High Court also oversees administrative issues such as postings, promotions, leave grants, transfers, and disciplinary actions for subordinate court members.
Collective and Individual Responsibility: The High Court, as the head of the judiciary in the state, holds both collective and individual responsibility for controlling subordinate courts, particularly in administrative matters.
