How can a High Court protect citizens’ rights?

Correct answer: By giving legal remedies and orders within its jurisdiction

Correct answer: A. A High Court is a constitutional court that can hear suitable cases within its jurisdiction and protect legal and fundamental rights. Begin with the meaning of jurisdiction: it is the legal authority and territorial or subject-based limit within which a court may hear and decide cases. When a public authority violates a person’s rights, the High Court may examine the action and issue an appropriate order or remedy according to law. Option A is correct because legal remedies and court orders are judicial ways to stop unlawful action or provide relief. Option B is wrong because election symbols are allotted through the election process, not by High Courts as a remedy for rights violations. Option C is wrong because assigning ministerial departments is the work of the political executive. Option D is wrong because the President is elected through the constitutionally prescribed electoral process, not by a High Court. Memory cue: courts give remedies; executives manage departments; election authorities manage symbols.
