With reference to the territorial jurisdictions of High Courts in India, consider the following pairs : High Courts — Territorial Jurisdictions 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?

  1. A.One✓ Correct
  2. B.Two
  3. C.Three
  4. D.All the four

Explanation

The Calcutta High Court has jurisdiction over West Bengal and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, not Lakshadweep — so pair I is incorrect. The Madras High Court has jurisdiction over Tamil Nadu and Puducherry — so pair II is correct. The Gauhati High Court earlier had jurisdiction over Manipur, but since 2013 Manipur has its own separate High Court; hence pair III is incorrect. The Kerala High Court has jurisdiction over Kerala and Lakshadweep, not Andaman and Nicobar Islands — so pair IV is incorrect. Therefore only one pair (II) is correctly matched.
