The High Courts
The document discusses key provisions regarding High Courts in India according to Articles 214 to 231 of the Constitution. It outlines that High Courts are headed by a Chief Justice and other judges appointed by the President. High Court judges must be citizens of India, advocates of at least 10 years, and will serve until age 62. They can be removed by the President based on an address by both houses of Parliament. High Courts have powers to issue writs throughout their territorial jurisdiction and supervise all lower courts. Certain cases may be transferred to the High Court if they involve substantial questions of constitutional law. It also distinguishes between the Attorney General of India and Advocate Generals of States in terms of their appointment and roles.
