Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) I, II and IV
At the time of the 2001 examination there were 18 High Courts; three of them (Bombay, Punjab-&-Haryana, Gauhati) had jurisdiction over more than one State; Delhi (a Union Territory) already had its own High Court, so statement III was wrong; judges of High Courts retire at 62. Hence statements I, II and IV are correct → option (a). ([licchavilyceum.com](https://licchavilyceum.com/upsc-civil-services-prelims-2001-solved-question-paper/?utm_source=openai))
