-
A.
President
-
B.
Parliament
-
C.
Supreme Court
-
D.
State Legislature
Correct Answer:
B. Parliament
Explanation:
Under Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution of India, the power to extend or restrict the jurisdiction of High Courts is vested in the Parliament. While the President appoints judges and the Supreme Court serves as the highest judicial authority, only the Parliament has the legislative competence to alter the reach and authority of the High Courts across different states or union territories. This ensures that any changes to the judicial structure at the state level are handled through the national legislative process.
