Concept:The Federal Court of India was created to serve as the highest judicial body for the country before independence.
Explanation:The Government of India Act, 1935, specifically provided for the establishment of a Federal Court.
This court was set up in 1937 with its seat in Delhi.
It had original, appellate, and advisory jurisdiction.
The Federal Court functioned until the Supreme Court of India was inaugurated in 1950.
The Act of 1935 was a lengthy British legislation that also divided powers between the centre and provinces.
The other options are not correct because:
• The Government of India Act, 1919, introduced dyarchy at the provincial level but did not create a Federal Court.
• The Lee Commission (1923) dealt with reforms in the civil services, not the judiciary.
• The Indian Councils Act, 1909, focused on separate electorates and expanded councils, not a federal court.
Thus, only the 1935 Act advocated the creation of a Federal Court.
Answer:The Government of India Act, 1935 (Option C).
