Answer: (d)

Answer: (a)

Answer: (b)

There had been a persistent demand for the extension of the jurisdiction of a High Court to the Union Territory of Goa, Daman, and Diu and for the establishment of a permanent bench of that High Court in lieu of the existing Court of the Judicial Commissioner.

Although the Judicial Commissioner’s Court functioning at those times in Union territory was given certain powers of a High Court under the provisions of the Goa, Daman, and Diu (Judicial Commissioner’s Court) Regulation, 1963, it was not a full-fledged High Court.

The Judicial Commissioner also did not enjoy those constitutional safeguards which protect the independence of a High Court Judge.

It was further felt that the extension of the jurisdiction of a High court to the Union Territory including Goa would improve the tone of judicial administration in these Union territories and would inspire greater public confidence. Under that circumstance, the jurisdiction of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay was extended to the State of Goa and Union Territories of Daman and Diu, and Court of the Judicial Commissioner was abolished and a permanent bench of High Court of Judicature at Bombay is established at Panaji (Goa) on 30th October 1982 as per the provisions of The High Court at Bombay (Extension of Jurisdiction to Goa, Daman, and Diu ) Act, 1981.
