Can a High Court make rules or forms that are not related to the proceedings and practice of courts?
No, a High Court cannot make rules or forms that are not related to the proceedings and practice of courts. The High Court can only prescribe forms in which books, entries and accounts shall be kept by the officers of any such courts and settle tables of fees for the sheriff, clerks, officers, attorneys, advocates and pleaders practising therein. Any rules made, forms prescribed or tables settled must not be inconsistent with the provisions of any law for the time being in force and require the previous approval of the Governor.
