A Correct answer
Explanation

Section 24 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) authorizes the High Court and District Court to transfer suits and proceedings from one court to another under their respective jurisdiction. This power ensures convenience of parties and ends litigation. The Supreme Court does not have this general power under Section 24, though it can transfer cases under Article 139A of the Constitution. The provision applies to intra-state transfers.
