Q. Which amendment of the Indian Constitution authorized the Parliament to establish a common high court for two or more states or for two or more states and a Union territory?
Answer: 7th Amendment
Notes: The 7th Amendment to the Indian Constitution, enacted in 1956, granted authority to the Parliament to establish a common high court for two or more states or for two or more states and a Union territory. This was done mainly to avoid inconsistencies and conflict of jurisdiction between states sharing the same high court. For instance, the Punjab and Haryana High Court serves both Punjab and Haryana as well as the Union territory of Chandigarh.
