Explanation

Section 125 lets other High Courts exercise the Section 122 powers in such manner and subject to such conditions as the State Government may determine. Its proviso allows such a High Court, after previous publication, to make a rule extending within its local limits rules made by any other High Court. Publication is required, and the conditions come from the State Government.
