Which courts are generally below the High Court?

Correct answer: District and subordinate courts

Correct answer: A, district and subordinate courts. The judiciary has a hierarchy so that cases can be heard at different levels and, where permitted, a decision can be challenged before a higher court. In a state, the High Court is above district and other subordinate courts. Parliament is the law-making body, Rashtrapati Bhavan is the official residence of the President, and the Election Commission conducts elections; none of these is a lower court. Therefore A is the only option naming courts that generally function below a High Court. Memory cue: think of the order as Supreme Court, High Court, then district and subordinate courts. This is a simplified hierarchy; special courts may have particular powers.
