Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Multiple criminal systems exist and operate throughout the country.

Our Judiciary consists of the Supreme Court, the High Courts and the Subordinate Courts. It means that all the courts in the country at every level are linked, or connected. All of them interpret laws made by the State and Union Legislatures. All cases can be taken from the Lower Courts to the High Court and finally to the Supreme Court by appeal. Within Civil Law, there are variations among people belonging to different religious communities. However, one single criminal system runs throughout India. High Courts operate at the State Level. The Subordinate Courts overlook the Districts and lower levels of Judiciary.
