Jurisdiction extension to union territories limits state legislature power and shifts supervisory references to the central executive. Parliament may by law extend or exclude the jurisdiction of a High Court to any Union territory. Where a State High Court exercises jurisdiction in relation to a Union territory, the State Legislature cannot alter that jurisdiction, and references in supervisory provisions to the Governor, concerning rules, forms or tables for subordinate courts in that territory, are to be construed as references to the President.
