Which of the following Articles of the Indian Constitution deals with the establishment and constitution of the Supreme Court?

Appeared in: DSSSB 14 August 2024

Explanation

  • Article 124 of the Indian Constitution specifically provides for the establishment and constitution of the Supreme Court of India.
  • This article details the composition of the court, the process for appointing judges, their qualifications, and their tenure.
  • As the apex judicial body, the Supreme Court is the final court of appeal and the ultimate interpreter of the Constitution.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option B: Article 44 is a Directive Principle of State Policy, not a provision for the judiciary. It urges the state to secure a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) for all citizens.
  • Option C: Article 214 deals with the establishment of High Courts for the states, which are the highest judicial bodies at the state level, not the national level.
  • Option D: Article 370 contained temporary provisions granting special autonomous status to the state of Jammu & Kashmir. It is not related to the judiciary's structure.

Clinical Relevance
  • Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Indian Constitution: Articles related to the Judiciary as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
  • Understanding the judicial structure is crucial for any citizen, including healthcare professionals, to be aware of the legal framework governing their rights and the avenues for legal recourse.
  • Knowledge of key constitutional articles provides a foundation for understanding public policy, fundamental rights, and the legal basis of governance in India.
  • What if? - If the question had asked for the article concerning the right to constitutional remedies (allowing citizens to approach the Supreme Court for violation of fundamental rights), the answer would be Article 32.
How to Approach the Question
  • Identify the core subject of the question, which is the specific constitutional article for the 'establishment and constitution of the Supreme Court'.
  • Systematically review each option, recalling the subject matter of major constitutional articles.
  • Recognize that Article 124 is the first article in Part V, Chapter IV, which is dedicated to 'The Union Judiciary', making it the correct choice.
  • Eliminate the other options by correctly identifying their topics: Article 44 (Uniform Civil Code), Article 214 (High Courts), and Article 370 (former status of J&K).
  • Confirm your choice by ensuring that Article 124 directly addresses the creation of the Supreme Court.
