Article 237 of CoI : Article 237: Application of the provisions of this Chapter to certain class or classes of magistrates.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

The Governor of Maharashtra issues a public notification stating that starting from January 1, 2024, the provisions of Chapter VI of Part VI of the Constitution of India, which pertain to subordinate courts, will also apply to all First Class Magistrates in the state. This means that the rules and regulations governing the judicial service of the state will now also govern the conduct, appointment, and duties of First Class Magistrates, with certain specified exceptions. For instance, the notification might specify that First Class Magistrates will have a different retirement age compared to other judicial officers.

Example 2:

In the state of Karnataka, the Governor decides to extend the provisions of Chapter VI of Part VI of the Constitution to Second Class Magistrates. A public notification is issued, effective from April 1, 2023, stating that the rules applicable to the judicial service of the state will now also apply to Second Class Magistrates. However, the notification includes a modification that Second Class Magistrates will not be required to undergo the same training program as other judicial officers. This ensures that while the overarching rules apply, certain practical adjustments are made to suit the specific class of magistrates.
