How do High Courts and the Supreme Court play complementary roles in protecting citizens' rights?

Correct answer: High Court can give relief at regional level and Supreme Court at national level

Answer: A. High Courts work within their States or assigned territories and can provide constitutional remedies when rights are violated there. The Supreme Court is the highest court of the country and can protect rights at the national level; its decisions have authority throughout India. The two levels are complementary because a person may first seek suitable relief from a High Court, while the Supreme Court can hear appeals and matters of national importance. B is wrong: courts are independent constitutional institutions, not bodies working under the Election Commission. C is wrong because courts hear many kinds of civil, criminal, and constitutional cases, not only sports disputes. D is wrong because courts are not parliamentary committees. Memory cue: High Court protects within its region; Supreme Court stands at the national apex.
