Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as Article 44 of the Directive Principles of State Policy mandates that the State shall endeavor to secure a Uniform Civil Code for citizens throughout India. Statement 2 is correct because High Courts possess broader writ jurisdiction under Article 226 compared to the Supreme Court under Article 32; while the Supreme Court can only issue writs for fundamental rights, High Courts can issue them for fundamental rights and 'any other purpose'. Statement 3 is correct as the Supreme Court of India was inaugurated on January 28, 1950, under the new Constitution [2]. It replaced the Federal Court of India and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, becoming the first fully independent apex court for the country [1]. Since all three statements are factually accurate, option 1 is the correct choice.
