Consider the following statements :
- 1The Advocate General of a State in India is appointed by the President of India upon the recommendations of the Governor of the concerned State.
- 2As provided in the Code of Civil Procedure, High Courts have original appellate advisory jurisdiction at the State level.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Under Article 165, the Advocate General of a state is appointed by the Governor, not by the President. Further, the Code of Civil Procedure confers original and appellate jurisdiction on High Courts, but no ‘advisory jurisdiction’ — advisory jurisdiction belongs to the Supreme Court under Article 143. Both statements are therefore incorrect.
