NDA 2026 · PYQ · Indian Polity / High Courts · medium
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?
A.One✓ Correct
B.Two
C.Three
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.
