💡 Solution & Explanation
Under Article 214 and relevant statutory provisions, the President of India holds the constitutional power to establish circuit benches or permanent benches of a High Court after consultation with the Governor of the state and the Chief Justice of the concerned High Court. The Parliament or Supreme Court does not directly create these benches. High Courts in India generally have principal seats specified by presidential orders.
