Solution

The correct option is A Articles 226 and 227
The High Court can hear ‘Constitutional Cases’. Like the Supreme Court, the High Court also has the power of Judicial review under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution. This means that it can look at any legislation or executive order and decide if it violates the Constitution. This means it can examine the constitutionality of laws and executive orders of both the Central and state governments.
