Correct Answer: Option (D) — 'A' is false but 'R' is true.

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

Assertion (A) is false: Not every State has its own independent High Court within its territory; there are common High Courts serving multiple States and Union Territories (e.g., Gauhati High Court, Punjab & Haryana High Court). Reason (R) is true: Article 214 of the Constitution provides that 'There shall be a High Court for each State', while Article 231 empowers Parliament to establish a common High Court for two or more States.
