Consider the following pairs with regard to the territorial jurisdictions of High Courts in India: High Court : Territorial Jurisdiction I. Calcutta High Court : Lakshadweep II. Madras High Court : Puducherry III. Gauhati High Court : Manipur IV. Kerala High Court : Andaman and Nicobar Islands How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

Two pairs are correctly matched. Madras High Court has jurisdiction over Puducherry — correct. Gauhati High Court has jurisdiction over Manipur (along with Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Arunachal Pradesh, though some of these now have their own High Courts) — historically correct. Calcutta High Court has jurisdiction over Andaman and Nicobar Islands, NOT Lakshadweep — incorrect. Kerala High Court has jurisdiction over Lakshadweep, NOT Andaman and Nicobar — incorrect. Hence only II and III are correctly matched.
