Rajasthan High Court MCQ — 4 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The High Court of Rajasthan was established in 1949, after the integration of princely states into Rajasthan. This date is the standard constitutional and administrative reference for the court's establishment. The year 1948 falls before the court's formal establishment in the integrated state. The year 1950 is linked with the Constitution coming into force, but not with this court's founding. The year 1951 is later than the establishment date. Hence 1949 is the year asked for in the question.

Explanation

The High Court of Rajasthan was inaugurated at Jodhpur by Rajpramukh Sawai Man Singh on 29 August 1949. This date is linked with the early judicial organisation of the newly integrated State of Rajasthan. The dates in January 1950, March 1951 and January 1952 do not mark the inauguration of the Rajasthan High Court by the Rajpramukh. They may appear close to the constitutional transition period after independence, but they are not the inauguration date asked in the question.

Explanation

This is a period-bound 'at present' question from the 2022 CET cycle, so the answer must be read as of the paper's context, not today's roster. The published key gives 50 for the Rajasthan High Court. Counts such as 30 and 40 are below the accepted sanctioned-strength figure used in the question, while 60 is higher than the figure accepted by the key. Therefore, for this past-paper item, the number to retain is 50.

Explanation

The principal seat of the Rajasthan High Court is at Jodhpur. Jaipur has a bench of the High Court, but it is not listed in this question and is not the principal seat. Barmer is a district headquarters in western Rajasthan, not the seat of the High Court. Ajmer is historically and administratively important, but it does not host the principal seat. Kota is a major divisional city, yet the High Court’s principal seat remains at Jodhpur.
