The High Court of a State typically has the following jurisdictions:

  • Original jurisdiction: This allows the High Court to hear cases that originate within its territorial jurisdiction and have not been heard by any other lower court.
  • Appellate jurisdiction: The High Court can hear appeals from lower courts within its territorial jurisdiction, which includes both civil and criminal appeals.
  • Supervisory jurisdiction: This jurisdiction allows the High Court to exercise control and supervision over the lower courts within its territory to ensure they are functioning properly and within the bounds of the law.
  • Advisory jurisdiction: The High Court can provide advisory opinions to the state government on matters of law, although this jurisdiction is not as commonly exercised as the other three.
