Why is High Courts' supervision over subordinate courts important in the judicial system?

Correct answer: Because it maintains discipline, consistency and quality in lower-court proceedings

Direct answer: A is correct. A High Court supervises the working of subordinate courts within its jurisdiction. Supervision helps ensure that court administration follows legal rules, records and procedures are maintained properly, cases are handled in an orderly way, and serious irregularities can be noticed and corrected. It does not mean that the High Court decides every small matter for a lower court; rather, it provides institutional guidance and oversight. A is correct because discipline and quality support fair and reliable justice. B is wrong because elections are conducted under the election machinery, not through High Court supervision. C is wrong because ministers are appointed through the political executive and constitutional process. D is wrong because the legislature deals with the budget. Memory cue: High Court supervision means “higher judicial oversight,” not election or government administration.
