What does an integrated judicial system in India mean?

Correct answer: A unified judicial structure from Supreme Court to subordinate courts

The correct answer is A: India has a unified judicial structure extending from the Supreme Court through High Courts to subordinate courts. These courts form a connected hierarchy rather than completely separate state systems. The Supreme Court is the highest court, High Courts operate at the state or group-of-states level, and subordinate courts hear many cases at the local level. Appeals can move upward according to law. B is wrong because states do not each have a completely separate constitutional judicial system. C is wrong because panchayats are not the only bodies that resolve disputes, and they are not substitutes for the whole court system. D is wrong because courts and the Election Commission perform different constitutional functions. Memory cue: one judicial chain, many levels.
