Powers of other High Courts to make rules as to matters other than procedure
Full Text
A High Court not being a High Court to which section 129 applies may, with the previous approval of the State Government, make with respect to any matter other than procedure any rule which a High Court for a State might under article 227 of the Constitution make with respect to any such matter for any part of the territories under its jurisdiction which is not included within the limits of a presidency town.
Plain English Summary
Section 130 authorizes High Courts not possessing original civil jurisdiction under Section 129 to frame rules regarding administrative and non-procedural matters across subordinate territories (akin to powers under Article 227 of the Constitution), subject to previous approval of the State Government.
Key Legal Elements
- Applicability: Covers High Courts other than Chartered/Original Side High Courts under Section 129.
- Non-Procedural Subject-Matter: Governs matters other than civil trial procedure (e.g., administrative administration).
- Constitutional Alignment: Exercises powers analogous to Article 227 of the Constitution for non-presidency territories.
- State Government Approval: Requires previous executive approval from the State Government before enactment.
Practical Note
Administrative Superintending Power over Subordinate Courts: Section 130 complements the constitutional supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution. It enables High Courts to regulate non-procedural administrative facets of subordinate civil courts, including administrative registers, court fee accounting, ministerial staff governance, and establishment functioning with the prior sanction of the State Government.

ऐसा उच्च न्यायालय, जिसे धारा 129 लागू नहीं होती, राज्य सरकार के पूर्व अनुमोदन से, प्रक्रिया से भिन्न किसी विषय के संबंध में ऐसा कोई नियम बना सकेगा जो किसी राज्य का उच्च न्यायालय संविधान के अनुच्छेद 227 के अधीन अपनी अधिकारिता के अधीन के राज्यक्षेत्रों के ऐसे किसी भाग के लिए बना सकता हो जो किसी प्रेसीडेंसी नगर की सीमाओं के भीतर सम्मिलित नहीं है।
