Q118 (IAS/2005) Polity & Governance › Judiciary › Judiciary

Consider the following statement: 1. There are 25 High Courts in India. 2. Punjab, Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh have a common High Court. 3. National Capital Territory of Delhi has a High Court of its own. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

All three statements are factually correct based on the current administrative structure of the Indian judiciary:

  • Statement 1: There are currently 25 High Courts in India. The 25th High Court, the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, was established in 2019 following the bifurcation of the state.
  • Statement 2: The states of Punjab and Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh share a common High Court, known as the Punjab and Haryana High Court, located in Chandigarh.
  • Statement 3: The NCT of Delhi has its own dedicated High Court (established in 1966). It was historically the only Union Territory with its own High Court, though Jammu & Kashmir (as a UT) now also has its own shared High Court with Ladakh.

Therefore, all three statements are correct.
