Question

Select the option that shows the correct relationship between Statements I and II.

(I) A District Judge possesses administrative power in addition to judicial power.

(II) A Sessions Judge does not perform any administrative powers.

Options

• (I) is true, but (II) is false.

• (I) is false, but (II) is true.

• Both (I) and (II) are true, but (II) is not the correct explanation of (I).

• Both (I) and (II) are false.

Answer 1

(I) is true, but (II) is false.

Explanation:

Statement I is true because the District Judge, as the judicial head of the district, holds full administrative and supervisory power over all lower civil courts. Statement II is false because the same officer, when acting as a Sessions Judge, also exercises extensive administrative control, inspection duties, and supervisory powers over all lower criminal magistrate courts in the district.
