Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 30-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Indian Judiciary Practice Quiz: Supreme Court and High Courts Level 2

This Level 2 quiz builds the skill of applying judiciary facts to match-the-following, odd-one-out and statement questions on the Supreme Court and High Courts. It covers writ purposes, removal procedure for judges, advisory and original jurisdiction, qualifications and the growth of public interest litigation. Every question on Aptitude360 carries a worked explanation.

What this Level 2 judiciary set tests

  • Matching each writ with its purpose and spotting wrongly paired options
  • Grounds and parliamentary procedure for removing a Supreme Court judge, and why the motion against Justice V. Ramaswami failed
  • Advisory jurisdiction on a reference from the President, and original jurisdiction in Centre and State disputes
  • Special leave to appeal and why High Court writ power is wider than that of the Supreme Court
  • Qualifying routes for judges, including the distinguished jurist route open only for the Supreme Court
  • Chronology of judicial developments, judicial review and the rule of law

Question types and concepts to master

  • Statement-based questions where one word, such as 'bound' or 'expressly', makes a statement false
  • Odd-one-out sets built on which authority performs a function
  • Ordering the judicial hierarchy from the Supreme Court down to district and subordinate courts
  • Landmark public interest litigation cases and the change PIL brought to access to justice

How to prepare for medium-level polity questions

  • Revise Articles in clusters, such as jurisdiction Articles together and court of record Articles together
  • Keep a timeline of amendments, removal motions and key PIL cases for chronology questions
  • Read each statement on its own before checking the options

Who this quiz suits

Polity learners who know the basics of the judiciary and now want practice with the match, sequence and statement formats used in competitive General Awareness papers.

FAQs about Supreme Court and High Courts – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 2

What is the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and High Courts?
The Supreme Court has original, appellate, advisory and writ jurisdiction, and it can review its own judgments. High Courts have original and appellate jurisdiction, writ jurisdiction under Article 226 and superintendence over courts in their territory.
Why are the Supreme Court and High Courts called courts of record?
Their judgments are kept as records with evidentiary value and can be cited as precedents. Article 129 makes the Supreme Court and Article 215 makes the High Courts courts of record, with power to punish for their own contempt.
Why is the writ jurisdiction of High Courts wider than the Supreme Court?
Under Article 32 the Supreme Court issues writs only to enforce Fundamental Rights. Under Article 226 a High Court can issue writs for Fundamental Rights and also for any other purpose, such as ordinary legal rights.
How is a Supreme Court judge removed?
A judge can be removed by the President only on the grounds of proved misbehaviour or incapacity. Each House of Parliament must pass an address by a majority of its total membership and two thirds of those present and voting, in the same session.
