Articles 214 to 231 in Part VI of the Indian Constitution deal with the __________.

Correct — A. Articles 214 to 231 form Chapter V of Part VI, headed 'The High Courts in the States'.

Article 214 opens it: there shall be a High Court for each State.

Article 215 makes each a court of record, Article 217 governs the appointment of judges, Article 226 carries the writ jurisdiction, and Article 231 lets Parliament establish a common High Court for two or more States.

Part VI is the Part about the States, so the State-level judiciary is exactly where it belongs — option (a).

Why the others are wrong

• (b)
  Supreme Court — The Supreme Court sits in Part V, the Union Part, at Articles 124 to 147. Part VI deals with the States, so no article about the apex court can fall inside this range.
• (c)
  Subordinate Courts — Subordinate courts come immediately after, at Articles 233 to 237, in Chapter VI of the same Part VI. Close to the range in the question, but outside it.
• (d)
  District Courts — District courts are dealt with inside the subordinate-courts chapter, not as a separate head. Article 233, on the appointment of district judges, is the relevant provision.

The Constitution splits the judiciary across two Parts.

Part V, Chapter IV, Articles 124-147 is the Union Judiciary, meaning the Supreme Court.

Part VI, Chapter V, Articles 214-231 is the High Courts in the States, and Chapter VI, Articles 233-237, is the subordinate judiciary from district judges downward.

The split is organisational, not structural: India has a single integrated court system, so a High Court is not a state court in the American sense but part of one hierarchy under the Supreme Court, with its judges appointed by the President.

Key facts

• Articles 214 to 231 in Part VI of the Constitution deal with the High Courts in the States.
• Article 214 provides that there shall be a High Court for each State.
• Article 226 gives High Courts the power to issue writs, a wider power than the Supreme Court's under Article 32.
• Articles 233 to 237 in Part VI cover the subordinate courts, and Articles 124 to 147 in Part V cover the Supreme Court.

Common traps

• Reading Part VI as the judiciary Part. Part VI is the Part on the States, and the High Courts sit inside it.
• Assuming every State must have its own High Court. Article 231 allows one High Court for two or more States.
• Confusing Article 226 with Article 227, which is the High Court's power of superintendence over subordinate courts.
