Which of the following territories are under the jurisdiction of the High Court of Bombay?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 231 of the Constitution allows Parliament to establish a common High Court for two or more States or for a State and a Union territory, and Article 230 allows Parliament to extend a High Court's jurisdiction to a Union territory. The Bombay High Court exercises jurisdiction over Maharashtra, Goa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu, so "All of the given options are correct".

Current law: Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu were merged into one Union territory from 26 January 2020. Bombay High Court continues to cover those areas, but the separate Union-territory names used in the question are historical.
