What is the purpose of Article 228?
The purpose of Article 228 is to provide the High Court with the power to transfer a case pending in a subordinate court to itself, if it involves a substantial question of law as to the interpretation of the Constitution that needs to be determined for the disposal of the case. In such cases, the High Court can either dispose of the case itself or determine the said question of law and return the case to the court from which it was withdrawn along with a copy of its judgment on the question, after which the subordinate court proceeds to dispose of the case in conformity with the High Court's judgment.
