Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
Art 165 of the Constitution says the Advocate-General is appointed by the Governor of the State, not by the President, so Statement 1 is wrong. High Courts have original and appellate jurisdiction, but advisory jurisdiction is vested only in the Supreme Court under Art 143—not in High Courts or under the Civil Procedure Code—so Statement 2 is also wrong.
