JURISDICTION OF HIGH COURTS IN INDIA

All High Courts in India have original, writ, appellate and supervisory jurisdiction.

Original Jurisdiction: In many cases, the High Court has been provided with a power to hear the issue in the first instance and not as an appeal. Such matters generally pertain to infringement of fundamental rights. Other matters include admiralty, will, marriage, divorce, company laws and contempt of court.

Writ Jurisdiction: The constitution of India under Article 226 provides power to the High Court to hear Writ Petitions in order to effectuate fundamental rights. The Supreme Court too has been provided with a similar power under Article 32 of the Constitution. However, the powers given to the High Court are wider in scope in as much as it can hear writs for other matters as well.

Appellate Jurisdiction: As the words clearly suggest, the Delhi High Court has power to hear appeals against decisions/ orders pronounced by subordinate Courts in both Civil as well as Criminal matters.

Supervisory Jurisdiction: The power of Superintendence has been provided to the High Courts. By this power, the High Court exercise supervision over all subordinate courts within its territory other than Military Courts and Tribunals.

The High Courts have been entrusted with various powers including that of making rules subject to the constitutional framework.
