Correct Answer:

High Courts and Supreme Court

High Courts and the Supreme Court of India are primarily vested with the interpretation of statutes. They have the authority to interpret laws enacted by the legislature and to ensure that these laws are applied correctly in legal disputes brought before them. District Courts, on the other hand, primarily handle trials and adjudication of cases based on existing statutes rather than interpreting them at a fundamental level.
