In the High Court, judges can sit singly, in division benches of two judges or in full benches of three or more judges as per permission of Chief justice of high court.

In normal cases bench of two judges hear a case and they can hear an appeal against order passed by division benche of high court

Constitution bench is the name given to the benches of the Supreme Court of India which consist of at least five judges
