RAS question
Rajasthan High Court at:
Correct answer: (C) Jodhpur with bench at Jaipur.
The Rajasthan High Court has its principal seat at Jodhpur and a bench at Jaipur.
Explanation
The Rajasthan High Court is not located at Jaipur alone or at Jodhpur alone. Its official contact page identifies two institutional locations: the Rajasthan High Court Principal Seat at Jodhpur and the Rajasthan High Court Bench at Jaipur. That directly supports option C. The word "principal seat" matters because it marks Jodhpur as the main seat of the High Court, while the Jaipur location is a bench, not the sole seat. For a one-line RAS answer, the complete formulation is therefore: principal seat at Jodhpur, with a bench at Jaipur.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Jaipur is listed as a bench of the Rajasthan High Court, not as the only location of the High Court.
- (B) Kota is not identified by the Rajasthan High Court e-Courts Management Information System official contact page as either the principal seat or a bench of the Rajasthan High Court.
- (D) Jodhpur is the principal seat, but the option is incomplete because the High Court also has a bench at Jaipur.
Concept
This tests the Rajasthan polity syllabus area covering constitutional and judicial institutions in the state. It recurs in RAS because seat-and-bench facts are compact, official, and easy to frame as direct MCQs.
