The correct answer is option 3 - Kerala High Court. The Kerala High Court declared holding a `Bandh` illegal for the first time in India.

A `Bandh` is a form of protest in which a group of people go on strike or shut down businesses and services to enforce their demands or display dissent. It is a highly disruptive form of protest that often leads to the complete shutdown of normal activities in a particular area or region.

The Kerala High Court`s ruling implies that organizing a `Bandh` is against the law and can result in legal consequences. This decision by the Kerala High Court aims to discourage the use of `Bandh` as a means of protest and maintain law and order in the state.

It is important to note that while the Kerala High Court was the first to declare a `Bandh` illegal in India, other High Courts may have also made similar rulings in subsequent cases. This decision sets a precedent for other states to take similar actions against the use of `Bandh` as a protest method.
