Under Article 227, every High Court has superintendence over all courts and tribunals throughout its territorial jurisdiction, EXCEPT:

  1. Subordinate civil courts
  2. Subordinate criminal courts
  3. Courts-martial
  4. Administrative tribunals

Answer: Courts-martial

Article 227: HC has superintendence over all courts/tribunals within its territory, but NOT over courts-martial (military courts) or tribunals constituted under laws relating to armed forces. This exception preserves military justice system's autonomy while ensuring civilian judicial oversight over regular courts.
