Question

New Delhi is the seat of Supreme Court of India, the Court may sit in such other place as

• A. The Chief Justice of India alone may decide
• B. The President of India alone may decide
• C. The Chief Justice of India may, with the approval of the President, from time to time decide
• D. The Prime Minister of India alone decides

Hint:

Article 130 of the Constitution of India deals with the seat of the Supreme Court. While New Delhi is the permanent seat, the Court may sit elsewhere with the approval of the President on the recommendation of the Chief Justice of India.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the provision fixing the seat of the Supreme Court.
Article 130 deals with where the Supreme Court can sit and hold its proceedings.
Step 2: Eliminate options giving one person sole power.
Options that let the Chief Justice alone, the President alone, or the Prime Minister alone decide are incorrect, because the Constitution requires a joint decision, not a one-person call.
Step 3: State the correct rule.
Article 130 says the Court sits in New Delhi or in such other place as the Chief Justice of India may, with the approval of the President, from time to time decide.
\[ \boxed{\text{The Chief Justice of India may, with the approval of the President, from time to time decide}} \]
