Under which Article, the High Court has the power of Superintendence over Subordinate Courts?

Article 19
Article 220
Article 227
Article 117

The correct answer is C. Article 227.

Article 227 of the Constitution of India states that every High Court shall have superintendence over all courts and tribunals throughout the territories in relation to which it exercises jurisdiction. This means that the High Court has the power to supervise the working of all subordinate courts, including the district courts, sessions courts, and magistrates’ courts. The High Court can also issue directions to these courts, and can even transfer cases from one court to another.

The power of superintendence is an important power that enables the High Court to ensure that justice is being done in the subordinate courts. It also helps to maintain uniformity in the administration of justice.

The other options are incorrect. Article 19 deals with the fundamental rights of citizens. Article 220 deals with the appointment of judges of the High Courts. Article 117 deals with the salaries and allowances of the judges of the High Courts.
