Which of the following sentence/sentences is/are correct? 1. The High...
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'C' which states that both sentences 1 and 2 are correct.
Explanation of sentence 1:
The sentence states that "The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir will be the common High Court for the Union Territories of Ladakh, and Jammu and Kashmir."
- It is important to note that prior to October 31, 2019, the state of Jammu and Kashmir had its own separate High Court.
- However, after the reorganization of the state into two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh, a common High Court was established to serve both Union Territories.
- This means that the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir now acts as the highest judicial authority for both Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
Explanation of sentence 2:
The sentence states that "The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir will have an Advocate General to provide legal advice to the government of the Union Territory."
- An Advocate General is a legal advisor to the government of a state or a Union Territory.
- The role of an Advocate General is to provide legal advice to the government, represent the government in legal matters, and protect the interests of the state or Union Territory in legal proceedings.
- Since Jammu and Kashmir is now a Union Territory, it is entitled to have an Advocate General who will fulfill the aforementioned duties.
Conclusion:
Both sentence 1 and sentence 2 are correct as they accurately describe the establishment of a common High Court for the Union Territories of Ladakh, and Jammu and Kashmir, and the provision of an Advocate General for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir to provide legal advice to the government.
