The highest body of the Maharashtra judiciary is the Bombay High Court under which there are the Subordinate Courts which serve the districts and the City Civil Courts. The Bombay High Court can exercise original jurisdiction over the state of Maharashtra, Goa, Daman and Diu. It has benches in the cities of Bombay, Aurangabad, Nagpur and Panaji in Goa. The Bombay High Court can exercise both original and appellate jurisdiction in Bombay. The Bombay High Court can have maximum of 64 judges.
Query : the above mentioned is a good info but my query is that in the above mentioned para it has said that
(The Bombay High Court can exercise both original and appellate jurisdiction in Bombay) So as it has said in the the above para that the court has various bench in (Aurangabad, Nagpur and Panaji in Goa) so if this states what's to file a appeall in the court than they have to come to bombay because the Bombay has the appellate & oirignal jurisdiction & the other state (Aurangabad, Nagpur and Panaji in Goa) have only original juridisction . Pls correct me.
In the last para it has been said that
(The Bombay High Court can have maximum of 64 judges. )
so where it has been mentioned in the law that the particular HC should not exceed the limit of the judge they should have or the minimum judge they should have because it has also been said that SC has only 30 judge that is the maxmium.
So were it has been stated in the law that the any court should hold minimum & maxmium judges in the court. whether it is as per the court rules or any other law.
Thanks.
