However, Family Court Judges do not form part of the State judicial service where the governing service rules exclude them from the District Judge and civil judicial cadre. They also do not hold a judicial office for Article 217 elevation, since judicial office must fall within the constitutional judicial service scheme under Articles 233, 234 and 236, not merely involve adjudication. en-us Thu, 11 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 18:43:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196806 Family Courts under the Family Courts Act, 1984 are treated as courts with the trappings of a court because they decide specified family disputes through adjudicatory procedure, issue reasoned orders, and their orders are executable and appealable; their Presiding Officers are Judges in a limited statutory sense.
