    Question

    Which Article of the Indian Constitution is related with the high courts for Union Territories?

    A.

    241

    B.

    221

    C.

    263

    D.

    189

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (A) 241.

    Explanation:
    Article 241 of the Indian Constitution relates to the High Courts for Union Territories. It allows the Parliament to establish a High Court for any Union Territory and defines its jurisdiction and powers. It grants flexibility to the judicial system by enabling Union Territories to have their own High Courts, as seen with Delhi.

    Information Booster:

    • High Courts are the highest judicial authority within each state or Union Territory in India.
    • As of now, India has 25 High Courts, one for each state and Union Territory (with some states sharing a High Court, e.g., Goa and Bombay).
    • The Delhi High Court, established under Article 241, has jurisdiction over the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi.
    • High Courts are established under Article 214 for states, but for Union Territories, Article 241 governs their creation and authority.
    • The Chief Justice of a High Court is the highest-ranking judicial officer in that jurisdiction, and appointments are made by the President of India.

    Additional Information:

    • Article 221 deals with the conditions of service for judges of the High Courts.
    • Article 263 relates to the Inter-State Council and its functions.
    • Article 189 pertains to the legislative procedure in the state legislative assemblies.
