    Government plans High Court renaming powers for President
    Credits:
  • A law is being considered by the government to endow the President with powers to rename the courts after consulting the state authorities and concerned chief justices.

    The Law Ministry had planned to bring a bill to rename high courts on case-by-case basis earlier.

    The government doesn't have any mechanism to rename a High Court as of now.

    Colonial law stands in way of renaming

    Colonial law stands in way of renaming
  • S. Raghavan, a lawyer practising in the High Court, pointed out that a change in the name of the High Court would require an amendment to the Letters Patent, a colonial charter under which the High Courts were established

    Renaming can be done if Parliament amends the Letters Patent which expressly states that the institution should be called High Court of Judicature at Madras.

  • Why?

    Why not a bill?

    Why not a bill?
  • The logic shown behind this move is that the government will not have to bring a new bill every time a proposal is approved to rename a high court.

    The law ministry is looking at the legalities involved in this proposal before the final call can be taken to approach the Union Cabinet with the proposal.
