A
Indian High Courts Act, 1861
💡 Explanation:
The Indian High Courts Act of 1861 authorized the establishment of High Courts in the Presidency towns of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay. These courts replaced the Supreme Courts and the Sadar Adalats in those regions, centralizing the judicial system. This was a key step in the legal history of British India.
