Which one of the following statements is correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Statement 3 is correct as Article 30 specifically mentions only religious and linguistic minorities in the context of the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice [3]. Statement 1 is incorrect because Article 21A provides free and compulsory education to children aged six to fourteen years, not up to eleven [2]. Statement 2 is incorrect because the rights of religious denominations under Article 26 are not absolute; they are subject to public order, morality, and health. Statement 4 is incorrect because Article 32(3) explicitly allows Parliament to empower any other court to exercise the power to issue writs within its local jurisdiction, without prejudice to the Supreme Court's powers. Thus, only the provision regarding minorities in Article 30 is accurately described.
