B Correct answer
Explanation

Administrative Tribunals established under the Administrative Tribunals Act 1985 exclude the jurisdiction of High Courts under Article 226 over service matters. Article 226 empowers High Courts to issue writs for enforcement of fundamental rights and for any other purpose, but service matters are now handled by Administrative Tribunals to reduce judicial burden.
