Section 23:
Situation of Subordinate Courts.
The Subordinate Judges shall hold their Courts at such place
or places as the Governor of Bombay in Council may from time to time appoint, within the local limits of
their respective jurisdictions. Wherever more than one such place is appointed, the District Judge shall,
subject to the control of the High Court, fix the days on which the Subordinate Judge shall hold his Court
at each of such places, and the Subordinate Judge shall cause such days to be duly notified throughout the
local limits of his jurisdiction.
The same person may be the Judge of more than one Subordinate Court; and in such cases the District
judge shall, subject to the control of the High Court, prescribe rules for regulating the time during which
the Subordinate Judge shall sit in each Court.
The Judge of any Subordinate Court may, with the previous sanction of the High Court, be deputed
by the District Judge to the Court of another Subordinate Judge for the purpose of assisting him in the
disposal of the suits on his file.
