Wish that they we go through the provision of Art 32[3] of the Constitution of India and see that to reduce the work load of the High Courts some powers should be given to the District Courts so that litigants need not come at High court places and their work is done at District places. The article 32 [3] runes as under. Art. 32(3) Without prejudice to the powers conferred on the Supreme Court by clause ( 1 ) and ( 2 ), Parliament may by law empower any other court to exercise within the local limits of its jurisdiction all or any of the powers exercisable by the Supreme Court under clause ( 2 )
