Judicial And Administrative Functions

Judicial and administrative functions, The functions discharged by a High Court can be divided broadly into judical and administrative functions. The judicial functions are to be discharged essentially by the Judges as per the rules of the Court and cannot be delegated. However, administrative functions need not necessarily be discharged by the Judges by themselves, whether individually or collectively or in a group of two or more, and may be delegated or entrusted by authorization to subordinates unless there be some rule of law restraining such delegation or authorisation, Jamal Uddin Ahmed v.
