Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Supreme Court is a ‘Court of Record’. This means that all judgements and orders made in the court are carefully recorded. The judgements can be produced in any court as ‘precedents’. These are cited as an example to justify deciding a similar case in the same manner. Precedents act as guidelines for future verdicts. If a High court is faced with a case which has similar facts to one handled by the Supreme Court, it can take a look at the record.
