The constitutional provisions governing the High Courts of India establish them as vital components of the country’s judicial system. Endowed with extensive jurisdiction over state and Union Territory matters, High Courts in India serve as guardians of justice and arbiters of constitutional rights within their respective jurisdictions. Their establishment, composition, jurisdiction, and powers are outlined in the Constitution, reflecting the commitment to a decentralized yet unified system of justice aimed at ensuring access to justice and the protection of individual liberties across India.
