High Courts of India

The High Courts of India are the highest judicial authorities at the state or territorial level, functioning as courts of record that interpret and uphold the Constitution, laws, and justice within their jurisdictions. They handle appeals from lower courts, protect fundamental rights, and ensure legal consistency. Each state or group of states has its own High Court, led by a Chief Justice, and they oversee subordinate courts. Their decisions can be challenged in the Supreme Court of India, the country's highest judicial authority. High Courts play a vital role in maintaining the rule of law across India.
