B Correct answer
Explanation

Article 145(3) of the Constitution mandates that no judgment shall be delivered by the Supreme Court except in open Court. This ensures transparency and public confidence in judicial proceedings. Option A is incorrect because the Chief Justice cannot unilaterally decide sitting places; it requires Presidential approval. Option C is wrong because only Parliament can enlarge Supreme Court's jurisdiction (Article 138). Option D is incorrect because Article 144 applies to ALL authorities, not just those in aid of Supreme Court.
