High Courts from "summary" of Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
High Courts are the principal civil courts of original jurisdiction in the state. They are also the highest appellate courts in the state. However, their jurisdiction can be altered by the parliament. Each High Court consists of a Chief Justice and such other Judges as prescribed by the President. The Chief Justice of a High Court is appointed by the President in consultation with the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the State. The other Judges are appointed by the President in consultation with the Chief Justice of India, the Chief Justice of the High Court, and the Governor of the State. The Judges of a High Court hold office until they attain the age of 62 years. They can resign from their office by writing to the President. They can also be removed before the age of 62 years by the President on the recommendation of the Parliament. The salaries and allowances of the Judges of a High Court are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India. They are not subject to vote in the Parliament. The jurisdiction of a High Court can be enlarged by the Parliament. The Parliament can extend the jurisdiction of a High Court to the Union Territory. However, it cannot reduce the jurisdiction of a High Court without its consent. A High Court can issue writs for the enforcement of the Fundamental Rights. It can also issue writs for any other purpose. These writs can be issued only against the State or an individual or authority. The writs include habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto, and certiorari. The writs are issued to protect the rights of the citizens. The Chief Justice of a High Court is appointed by the President in consultation with the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the State. The other Judges are appointed by the President in consultation with the Chief Justice of India, the Chief Justice of the High Court, and the Governor of the State. The Judges of a High Court hold office until they attain the age of 62 years. They can resign from their office by writing to the President. They can also be removed before the age of 62 years by the President on the recommendation of the Parliament.
