Advisory jurisdiction
Original jurisdiction
Supervisory jurisdiction
Appellate jurisdiction
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is (a). Advisory jurisdiction is not the main jurisdiction of the High Court of a State.
The High Court of a State has original, appellate, and supervisory jurisdiction.
- Original jurisdiction means that the High Court can hear a case at the first instance. This is usually the case for cases involving a large amount of money or for cases that are of great public importance.
- Appellate jurisdiction means that the High Court can hear appeals from lower courts. This is usually the case for cases that have been decided by a lower court in error.
- Supervisory jurisdiction means that the High Court can supervise the work of lower courts. This includes the power to quash orders made by lower courts and to transfer cases from one lower court to another.
Advisory jurisdiction is the power of the High Court to give an opinion on a legal question. This power is rarely used, and it is not considered to be one of the main jurisdictions of the High Court.
