Provisions for the 'Control over subordinate courts' are provided in which of the following Articles of the Constitution of India?
Article 235
Article 235 of the Constitution vests in the High Court the 'control over subordinate courts', that is, control over district courts and courts subordinate to them, including the posting, promotion and grant of leave to persons belonging to the judicial service of a State.
This provision is a key pillar of the independence of the subordinate judiciary, as it keeps administrative control with the High Court rather than the executive.
Article 225 deals with the jurisdiction of existing High Courts, Article 245 with the extent of laws made by Parliament and State legislatures, and Article 255 with requirements as to recommendations and previous sanctions being matters of procedure only.
Hence, control over subordinate courts is provided under Article 235.
