उत्तर

The Court of Record is defined as the court whose judgments are recorded as evidence and testimony. These are in the nature of precedents and are referred to in other courts of the country.

The Supreme Court of India is considered as Court of Record. This is because some judgments made by the Supreme Court are considered to be laws. High Courts and District Courts give their judgments in light of those passed by the Supreme Court.

The High Court too is a ‘Court of Record’ like the Supreme Court because the judgments made by the High Court are preserved as a record to be referred to by and binding on all subordinate courts in the concerned State. An important characteristic of the High Court is that it has the right to punish an individual for contempt of court.
