The correct answer is Option 4 - Three
In India, the judicial system consists of broadly three main tiers:
Supreme Court of India: The Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority in the country. It has original, appellate, and advisory jurisdiction. The decisions of the Supreme Court are binding on all other courts in India.
High Courts: Each state in India has its own High Court. High Courts have jurisdiction over the state in which they are located, as well as over Union Territories designated for that purpose. High Courts handle appeals from subordinate courts and tribunals within their jurisdiction, as well as original jurisdiction in certain cases.
Subordinate Courts: Subordinate Courts consist of District Courts and lower-level courts. District Courts have jurisdiction over specific districts or regions within a state. Below District Courts are various lower-level courts, such as Civil Courts, Criminal Courts, Family Courts, and others, depending on the nature of the cases they handle.
Additionally, there are specialized tribunals and courts established to handle specific types of cases, such as labor disputes, taxation matters, environmental issues, and administrative disputes. |
