The correct answer is: A. By the Constitution.
The Supreme Court of India is the highest court in India. It was set up by the Constitution of India, which was adopted on 26 November 1949. The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in a number of cases, including those involving disputes between the central government and the state governments, and those involving the interpretation of the Constitution. It also has appellate jurisdiction in a number of cases, including those involving the death penalty.
The Supreme Court is composed of a Chief Justice and 30 other judges. The Chief Justice is appointed by the President of India, on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of India. The other judges are appointed by the President of India, on the advice of the Chief Justice of India.
The Supreme Court is located in New Delhi. The current Chief Justice of India is Justice N.V. Ramana.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B is incorrect because the Supreme Court was not set up by the law of Parliament. The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India, and all other laws must be consistent with it.
- Option C is incorrect because the Supreme Court was not set up by a Presidential Order. The President of India can only issue orders in accordance with the Constitution.
- Option D is incorrect because the Supreme Court was not set up by the Act of 1947. The Act of 1947 was the Indian Independence Act, which granted independence to India from British rule.
