उत्तर
A High Court of India has to perform many functions and duties of judicial and non-judicial nature.
- Original Jurisdictions: Cases relating to Fundamental Rights, divorce, wills, and laws relating to marriage can be brought directly to a High Court.
- Appellate Jurisdiction: Appeals in civil and criminal cases are made to the High Court against the decision of the subordinate courts.
The High Court supervises the functions of all subordinate courts in the state. It can also transfer a case from a subordinate court to itself or to another subordinate court if necessary. It can also examine their records.
