Article 231 of the Constitution of India grants the power to establish a common High Court for two or more states to the Parliament.
– Article 231 (1) states: “Notwithstanding anything in the preceding provisions of this Chapter, Parliament may by law establish a common High Court for two or more States or for two or more States and a Union territory.”
– This power is explicitly vested in the Parliament of India.
Examples of common High Courts include the High Court of Punjab and Haryana (for Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh), and the Gauhati High Court (which earlier had jurisdiction over several northeastern states, some of which now have their own High Courts, but still covers Assam and Nagaland with benches in other states).
