Control over district and subordinate courts’ posting, promotion and leaves of judges vests primarily in which authority?
High Court
Under Article 235 of the Constitution, the High Court exercises control over the district courts and courts subordinate to them.
This administrative control specifically covers matters such as the posting, promotion and grant of leave to persons belonging to the judicial service of a state (other than district judges), ensuring the independence of the subordinate judiciary from the executive.
The Law Ministry and Parliament handle policy and legislation, and the President appoints higher-court judges, but day-to-day control over subordinate-court judges lies with the High Court.
Hence, the controlling authority is the High Court.
