Question

Ram says that any High Courts can act as a supervisor for all the subordinate courts in the country. Rahul says that the High Court enjoys the power of ‘superintendence’ over the subordinate courts. Who do you think is right?

• A. Ram is right
• B. Rahul is right
• C. Both are right
• D. Both are wrong

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rahul is right

The High Court acts as a supervisor for all the subordinate courts within its territory. The High Court can withdraw judgements from the subordinate courts. For this to happen, it calls for detailed reports from all the courts under it. This is made possible as the High Court enjoys the power of ‘superintendence’ over the subordinate courts.
