{'indian councils act': [6, 0, 5, 8], 'india act': [7, 1, 13, 15], 'federal court': [1, 0, 1, 3], 'lee commission': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'commissions': [1, 0, 2, 4]}

The answer is option 3, "The Government of India Act, 1935". Here`s why the other options are incorrect:

Option 1: The Government of India Act, 1919 didn`t advocate for a Federal Court. It mainly focused on partial self-governance and the dual form of government (dyarchy) in provinces.

Option 2: The Lee Commission, 1923 was primarily focused on Public Service recruitment in India. It didn`t advocate for the creation of a Federal Court.

Option 4: The Indian Councils Act, 1909 also did not propose a Federal Court. It was mainly focused on reforming the advisory council`s system.

Only the Government of India Act, 1935 advocated the establishment of a Federal Court in India. It was the first time a provision was made for the establishment of a judiciary with a Federal Court at the apex. The Court started functioning in 1937.
