Why is the High Court’s control over lower courts in its state important?

Correct answer: It maintains judicial administration and discipline

The correct answer is A. A High Court supervises the courts functioning below it within the state. This supervisory control helps maintain proper judicial administration, follow established procedures, and uphold discipline and standards in the lower courts. It also helps cases and court work proceed in an organised manner. Option A is correct because supervision is connected directly with the working and quality of the judicial system. Option B is wrong because elections are conducted by the Election Commission, not by the High Court. Option C is wrong because the Chief Minister is appointed through the constitutional political process, not by the High Court. Option D is wrong because spending and managing the state Budget are executive and legislative matters, not the function of a High Court. The High Court may examine legal decisions through appeals or other legal procedures, but its administrative control does not mean that it runs the state government. Memory cue: High Court supervises courts, not elections, ministers, or the treasury.
