However, a high court exercises its original civil and criminal jurisdiction only if the subordinate courts are not authorized by law to try such matters for lack of peculiar or territorial jurisdiction. High courts may also enjoy original jurisdiction in certain matters, if so designated, especially<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> by the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_India" title="Constitution of India">constitution</a>, a state law or union law. </p><p>The work of most high courts primarily consists of appeals from lower courts and writ petitions in terms of Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution. Writ jurisdiction is also the original jurisdiction of a high court. </p><p>Each state is divided into judicial districts presided over by a district judge and a session judge. He is known as the district judge when he presides over a civil case and the session's judge when he presides over a criminal case. He is the highest judicial authority below a high court judge. Below him, there are courts of civil jurisdiction, known by different names in different states. Under Article 141 of the constitution, all courts in India, including high courts – are bound by the judgements and orders of the Supreme Court of India by precedence. </p><p>Judges in a high court are appointed by the <a href="/wiki/President_of_India" title="President of India">president of India</a> in consultation with the <a href="/wiki/Chief_Justice_of_India" title="Chief Justice of India">chief justice of India</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Governors_of_states_of_India" class="mw-redirect" title="Governors of states of India">governor of the state</a> under Article 217, Chapter Five of Part VI of the Constitution, but through subsequent judicial interpretations, the primacy of the appointment process is on the hands of the <a href="/wiki/Three_Judges_Cases" class="mw-redirect" title="Three Judges Cases">Judicial Collegium</a>. High courts are headed by a chief justice. The chief justices rank fourteenth (within their respective states) and seventeenth (outside their respective states) on the <a href="/wiki/Indian_order_of_precedence" class="mw-redirect" title="Indian order of precedence">Indian order of precedence</a>. The number of judges in a court is decided by dividing the average institution of main cases during the last five years by the national average, or the average rate of disposal of main cases per judge per year in that high court, whichever is higher. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Calcutta_High_Court" title="Calcutta High Court">Calcutta High Court</a> is the oldest high court in the country, brought into existence on 14 May 1862.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> High courts that handle numerous cases of a particular region have permanent benches established there. Benches are also present in states which come under the jurisdiction of a court outside its territorial limits. Smaller states with few cases may have circuit benches established. Circuit benches (known as <a href="/wiki/Circuit_court" title="Circuit court">circuit courts</a> in some parts of the world) are temporary courts which hold proceedings for a few selected months in a year.
