Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the establishment of the High Court of Rajasthan under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, particularly focusing on Sections 49 and 51. The Court held that the President's Order establishing a permanent bench at Jaipur was valid and that the jurisdictional distribution of cases between Jodhpur and Jaipur was lawful. The judgment clarified the operational framework for the High Court's functioning in the newly formed state, affirming the authority of the Chief Justice in designating cases to be heard at either location.
