High Courts act as the supreme judicial bodies within their respective states. Their geographic reach often closely aligns with the state boundaries.
Article 214 states that there shall be a High Court for each State.
While India has 25 High Courts, 6 of them handle legal matters for multiple states or union territories.
The Constitution has not specified the strength of a high court.
The President of India specifies the strength depending upon the workload and appoints the judges of the high court.
High Court judges don't have a fixed term, but they serve until they reach the mandatory retirement age of 62.
To become a High Court judge in India, one must be a citizen with either: 10 years experience as a judicial officer in India, or 10 years as a lawyer in any High court.
The President appoints the Chief Justice after consulting the chief justice of India (CJI) and the state governor.
