Q. Which of the following Acts established the Federal Court in India?
(a) 1899
(b) 1925
(c) 1920
(d) 1935
Ans: (d) 1935
Explanation: The correct answer is (d) 1935.
The Federal Court of India was established by the Government of India Act of 1935. This act, also known as the Government of India Act, 1935, was a significant constitutional reform passed by the British Parliament to introduce self-governance and a federal structure in India.
The Government of India Act, 1935, provided for the establishment of a Federal Court to act as the highest court of appeal in India. The Federal Court replaced the previous Privy Council as the final appellate authority in the Indian judicial system.
Under this act, the Federal Court had jurisdiction over matters related to the interpretation and enforcement of the new constitution, disputes between the provinces and the center, and cases referred to it by the High Courts.
Therefore, option (d) 1935 is the correct answer for the act that established the Federal Court in India.
