Q. How many High Courts in India have jurisdiction over more than one State (Union Territories not included)? (UPSC Prelims 2008)
Answer: 3
Notes: As per the Indian Constitution and official records, three High Courts exercise jurisdiction over multiple states (excluding Union Territories): 1. Bombay High Court (Maharashtra, Goa). 2. Guwahati High Court (Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh). 3. Punjab and Haryana High Court (Punjab, Haryana). Other High Courts like Madras (Tamil Nadu, Puducherry - UT), Kerala (Kerala, Lakshadweep - UT), and Jammu & Kashmir (J&K, Ladakh - UT) include UTs, so they are excluded.
