      'appointed day', which courts/authorities retain jurisdiction over matters under Section 17?
      A The Supreme Court, and High Courts exercising jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B All courts and authorities including the Supreme Court and all High Courts Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only the Supreme Court of India Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D All courts except the District Courts Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No court retains any jurisdiction whatsoever once DRT is established Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 18 creates a bar of jurisdiction: from the appointed day, no court or other authority shall exercise jurisdiction in relation to matters under Section 17, EXCEPT the Supreme Court and High Courts exercising jurisdiction under Articles 226 (writ jurisdiction) and 227 (supervisory jurisdiction) of the Constitution. This preserves constitutional remedies - writs of mandamus, certiorari, and prohibition can still be issued against DRT orders by High Courts. All civil courts are completely excluded.
