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 35-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Supreme Court and High Courts GK Practice Quiz Level 3: Advanced Polity

Use this Level 3 Indian Polity set to check whether you can tell true from false statements about the Supreme Court and High Courts. Aptitude360 builds it around exact Article matching, the collegium, advisory and review jurisdiction, the precise scope of each writ and the procedure for removing judges. The questions reward careful reading of every clause.

Areas tested in the Level 3 Supreme Court and High Courts set

  • Matching Articles with subjects, from courts of record to superintendence and common High Courts
  • Exact scope of each writ, such as prohibition versus certiorari, and writ power for Fundamental Rights
  • Advisory jurisdiction on a presidential reference and whether the Court is bound to give its opinion
  • The collegium principle and the roles of the President, Governor and Chief Justice of India in appointments
  • Grounds and procedure for removing a judge, and the Justice V. Ramaswami motion
  • Ordering Supreme Court provisions by Article and judicial developments by date

Fine distinctions to revise for advanced judiciary questions

  • Powers shared by both courts versus powers held only by the Supreme Court
  • Appointment of district judges by the Governor in consultation with the High Court
  • Judicial review as a power of both the Supreme Court and the High Courts
  • Retirement ages of judges and the amendment that changed the High Court age
  • Public Interest Litigation and the Hussainara Khatoon case

Revision tips for statement-based judiciary questions

  • Watch for absolute words like 'only', 'must' and 'bound', which often make a statement false
  • Memorise which authority performs each function: recommending, appointing, transferring or removing
  • Revise the special majority needed in Parliament for removal in its exact wording

Who should take this judiciary set

Polity aspirants who have finished the earlier levels and want to test exam-style accuracy on the Indian judiciary before final revision.

FAQs about Supreme Court and High Courts – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 3

What is the collegium system for appointing judges?
The collegium is a system laid down by the Supreme Court through its own judgments, not by the text of the Constitution. For Supreme Court appointments it consists of the Chief Justice of India and the four senior-most judges, who recommend names to the President.
Is judicial review expressly mentioned in the Indian Constitution?
The term judicial review is not written in the Constitution. The power comes from provisions such as Articles 13, 32 and 226, and both the Supreme Court and High Courts can strike down unconstitutional laws.
What is the retirement age of Supreme Court and High Court judges?
A Supreme Court judge holds office until the age of sixty-five. A High Court judge retires at sixty-two, an age set by the Fifteenth Amendment of 1963.
Can the Supreme Court review its own judgments?
Yes. Article 137 empowers the Supreme Court to review any judgment or order it has passed, subject to law made by Parliament and its own rules.
