Both the Supreme Court and the High Courts in India are courts of record. Article 129 of the Constitution states that the Supreme Court shall be a court of record and shall have all the powers of such a court, including the power to punish for contempt of itself. Similarly, Article 215 states that every High Court shall be a court of record and shall have all the powers of such a court including the power to punish for contempt of itself.
– Being a ‘court of record’ means that the court’s records are admitted to be of evidentiary value and they cannot be questioned when produced before any subordinate court.
– A court of record also has the power to punish for contempt of court, which includes both civil and criminal contempt.
– Advisory power (Article 143) is exclusive to the Supreme Court. The President can seek its opinion on questions of law or fact of public importance.
– The power of doing complete justice (Article 142) is exclusive to the Supreme Court to pass such decree or make such order as is necessary for doing complete justice in any cause or matter pending before it.
– The power to allow/refuse Special Leave Petitions (Article 136) is a discretionary power vested solely in the Supreme Court to grant special leave to appeal from any judgment, decree, determination, sentence, or order in any cause or matter passed or made by any court or tribunal in the territory of India (except military tribunals and court-martial).
