UPSC 2005: Consider the following statements: 1. The Parliament cannot enlarge the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of India as its jurisdiction is limited to that conferred by the Constitution. 2. The officers and servants of the Supreme Court and High Courts are appointed by the concerned Chief Justice and the administrative expenses are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
Article 138 empowers Parliament to enlarge the jurisdiction and powers of the Supreme Court; hence statement 1 is incorrect. Articles 146 (Supreme Court) and 229 (High Courts) let the respective Chief Justices appoint officers/servants; in the Supreme Court those administrative expenses are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India, so the statement is treated as correct for the exam. Therefore only statement 2 is correct (option b). ([edurev.in](https://edurev.in/t/234396/UPSC-Previous-Year-Questions--Prelims--Supreme-Court))
