PM Visit to Rajasthan
Why in News?
Recently, the Prime Minister visited Rajasthan where he was the chief guest at the concluding ceremony of the platinum jubilee celebrations of Rajasthan High Court, held at the High Court Campus, Jodhpur.
Key Points
- The State judiciary consists of a high court and subordinate courts. The high courts were established in India in 1862 at Bombay, Calcutta and Madras.
- The constitution of India provides a high court for each state, but the Parliament can declare a common high court for two or more states.
- The number of judges in a high court is decided by the President of India, not the parliament.
- Appointment of HC Judges:
- Article 217 of the Constitution: It states that the Judge of a High Court shall be appointed by the President in consultation with the Chief Justice of India (CJI), the Governor of the State.
- In the case of appointment of a Judge other than the Chief Justice, the Chief Justice of the High Court is consulted.
