Q33 (CDS-II/2021) Polity & Governance › Judiciary › High Courts structure and powers Answer Verified

Which one of the following statements is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The statement that the Guwahati (Gauhati) High Court has no bench is incorrect. The Gauhati High Court, which has territorial jurisdiction over the states of Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Arunachal Pradesh, maintains permanent benches at Kohima, Aizawl, and Itanagar [4]. Regarding the other options: the Allahabad High Court has its principal seat at Prayagraj (Allahabad) and a permanent bench at Lucknow [2]. The Madhya Pradesh High Court is headquartered at Jabalpur and has permanent benches at Gwalior and Indore [3]. The Rajasthan High Court's principal seat is located at Jodhpur, with a bench at Jaipur. Therefore, while the first three statements accurately describe the judicial seats and benches of their respective states, the fourth statement is factually wrong as the Gauhati High Court operates multiple benches across its multi-state jurisdiction.
