2.2. Seat of Supreme Court

The Constitution of India declares Delhi as the seat of the Supreme Court. But, it also authorises the Chief justice of India to appoint other place or places as seat of the Supreme Court, but only with the approval of the President. This provision is only optional and not compulsory. This means that no court can give any direction either to the President or to the Chief Justice to appoint any other place as a seat of the Supreme Court.
