Statement (II): As per Constitution of India, each State is provided to have a high Court.

A Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true, and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (1) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true but Statement (II) is NOT the correct explanation of Statement (1) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Statement (I) is false, but Statement (II) is True Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

• At present, there are 24 high courts in the country. - Out of them, four are common high courts. Delhi is the only union territory that has a high court of its own (since 1966). Hence statement (I) is false. • The Constitution of India provides for a high court for each state, but the Seventh Amendment Act of 1956 authorized the Parliament to establish a common high court for two or more states or for two or more states and a union territory. Hence statement (II) is true.
