Which statement about the High Court and District Court is correct?

Correct answer: The High Court is above the District Court

Answer: A, the High Court is above the District Court in the judicial hierarchy. Courts are arranged in levels so that cases can be heard at the proper stage and, where the law permits, decisions can be challenged through an appeal. District Courts generally function at the district level, while a High Court has jurisdiction over a state or a group of states and stands higher in the hierarchy. The Supreme Court is the highest court in India. A is correct because the High Court is above the District Court. B is wrong because a District Court cannot be above the Supreme Court. C is wrong because courts are judicial institutions, not panchayats. D is wrong because the Election Commission conducts and supervises elections; it is not a court. Memory cue: in the broad order, District Court comes below High Court, and High Court comes below Supreme Court.
