Consider the following two statements about high courts in India.
- Statement I: There are 28 high courts in India at present.
- Statement II: The Seventh Constitutional Amendment authorised Parliament to establish a common high court for two or more states.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BStatement I is true, but Statement II is false
CStatement I is false, but Statement II is true ✓ Correct
DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
Correct answer: (C) Statement I is false, but Statement II is true — Statement I is false while Statement II is true, so the answer is the third option.
Explanation
★Statement I is false while Statement II is true, so the answer is the third option.
★Statement I is wrong, since there are 25 high courts in India, not 28.
★The number stated is incorrect.
★Statement II is correct, since the Seventh Amendment allowed a common high court for two or more states.
★This came with the reorganisation of states in 1956.
★So only the second statement is accurate.
★Thus Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
