Q66

Which among the following Acts provided for the establishment of a Supreme Court of Justice at Calcutta for Europeans, their employees and the citizens of India?

  1. (a) The Regulating Act of 1773Correct answer
  2. (b) The Charter Act of 1793
  3. (c) The Charter Act of 1813
  4. (d) Government of India Act of 1858

Solution.

Answer: (a) The Regulating Act of 1773

  1. The Regulating Act of 1773 authorised a Supreme Court at Calcutta; the court was established by the Royal Charter of 1774.
  2. The question asks for the enabling Act, so the 1773 date, rather than the court’s 1774 establishment date, is decisive.
