Consider the following statements:
1. The institution of high court originated in India in 1862.
2. The high court occupies the top position in the judicial administration of a state.
3. A common high court for two or more states can be set up on the President’s recommendation.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. statement 3 is incorrect.
• Articles 214 to 231 in Part VI of the Constitution deal with the organisation, independence,
jurisdiction, powers, procedures and so on of the high courts.
• The high court occupies the top position in the judicial administration of a state. In the Indian single
integrated judicial system, the high court operates below the Supreme Court but above the subordinate
courts. The judiciary in a state consists of a high court and a hierarchy of subordinate courts. Hence,
statement 2 is correct.
• The institution of high court originated in India in 1862 when the high courts were set up at Calcutta,
Bombay and Madras. In 1866, a fourth high court was established at Allahabad. In the course of time,
each province in British India came to have its own high court. After 1950, a high court existing in a
province became the high court for the corresponding state. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
• The Constitution of India provides for a high court for each state, but the Seventh Amendment Act of
1956 authorised the Parliament to establish a common high court for two or more states or for two or
more states and a union territory. The territorial jurisdiction of a high court is coterminus with the
territory of a state. Similarly, the territorial jurisdiction of a common high court is co-terminus with the
territories of the concerned states and union territory. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.

• In case of a common high court for two or more states, the governors of all the states concerned are
consulted by the president.
• The Constitution has not prescribed a minimum age for appointment as a judge of a high court.
Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
