Supreme Court and High Courts are part of which system?

Correct answer: Judiciary

Direct answer: A, the judiciary. The Supreme Court is the highest court in India, and High Courts are the principal courts at the state level. Together with other courts, they form the judicial system. Courts hear disputes, interpret and apply laws, protect rights and review some government actions according to constitutional rules. Option A is correct because both named bodies are courts and therefore belong to the judiciary. Option B is wrong because the legislature, such as Parliament, makes laws rather than deciding ordinary court cases. Option C is wrong because the executive administers laws and runs government departments. Option D is wrong because the Election Commission conducts and supervises elections; it is not a court in this classification. These institutions may interact, but their functions are different. Memory cue: courts belong to the judiciary; law-making bodies belong to the legislature; administration belongs to the executive.
