Question

The High Court of Chhattisgarh is located at

• A. Raipur
• B. Durg
• C. Bilaspur
• D. Jadavpur

Hint:

States like Kerala (Ernakulam), Madhya Pradesh (Jabalpur), Rajasthan (Jodhpur), and Chhattisgarh (Bilaspur) have their High Courts located in cities other than their state capitals.
These exceptions are frequently tested in exams.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the formation of Chhattisgarh.
Chhattisgarh became India's 26th state on 1st November 2000, carved out of Madhya Pradesh.
Step 2: Identify the location of its High Court.
The High Court of Chhattisgarh is located in Bilaspur, not in the state capital Raipur. This is a commonly confusing fact since state capitals usually host the High Court, but Bilaspur was chosen due to its historical significance in the region.
Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options.
Raipur is the capital, Durg is an industrial city, and Jadavpur is in West Bengal, not Chhattisgarh.
\[ \boxed{\text{Bilaspur}} \]
