Excellent

Fantastic work. I think it is flawless.You could have added the Articles of the Constitution under which the HC's derive their power from

Sumal

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try and hunt for the articles. User:Nichalp/sg 06:46, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

District & Sessions Judge

A person who is appointed as a district judge is called so when he acts and decides in a civil case, similarly when he hears and decides a criminal case , he is called a sessions judge . Both are the same person, they are called so depending upon the case they hear. I should know , I am a lawyer myself sumal

Brilliant! Thanks Sumal, I owe you one. User:Nichalp/sg 15:20, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

• Support. Although in my browser (Firefox 1.0.6) the bottom of the Karnataka High Court picture cuts into the top of the High Courts table. (This doesn't happen in Internet Explorer). CheekyMonkey 10:16, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I think this is a resolution issue. Its normal, I may add. In higher resolutions, the image in the above section tends to overlap with the section below, as text is more spaced out. User:Nichalp/sg 10:27, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

• Conditional Support. It really is fabulous, except...
  • Fix this run-on sentence: "Each state is divided into judicial districts which is presided over by a district and sessions Judge, which is the principal civil court of original jurisdiction, and can try all offences including those punishable with death." Break it up into a topic sentence for its paragraph and another sentence dealing with the last two ideas.
  • Check the capitalization (ie. "sessions Judge" or "Sessions Judge")
  • Explain the title: 'High Courts of India' or 'List of High Courts of India'? --maclean25 23:35, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the comments. I've fixed points 1 & 2. I'm trying to get the article to both FA and FL status, (a first :) ) and am currently discussing the matter with the two Featured Directors. So for now, I'd prefer keep the title as it is. User:Nichalp/sg 05:24, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
      • Thank you for addressing my concerns. I now support. However, I am still confused about the second paragraph. I know very little about the court system (of any country) so forgive my ignorance...but how does "a District and Sessions Judge" (is that one person or two?) relate to the High Court? From the first table, what is the difference between a "seat" and "benches"? I like how the last paragraph starts to give an example, can you expand that so that it relates to the table below (so I have an example to follow on how to read the table)?--maclean25 10:29, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
        • This legal thing is new to me too. 1) Yeah, a D&S Judge is a single person. I too was confused, but have sorted it out now. I've also rewritten that paragraph. Rewriting from legal jargon to English is not always easy :) . 2) A seat is the headquarters of the court. Sort of like the HQ of a company. A bench is a permanent branch established elsewhere in the state (or out of state). I've modified it and it should be better now. 3) Sorry but didn't get what you mean by the last suggestion.
