Answer: (b)

Administration of justice is the primary function of the judiciary. However, the judiciary performs certain other functions too. These functions may be judicial in character but some of these functions are non-judicial in nature. Firstly, when a dispute is brought before a court, it is the responsibility of the court to ‘determine the facts’ involved.

The usual manner in which the courts determine the facts is through evidence given by the contestants. Once the facts have been established, the court proceeds to decide what law is applicable to a particular controversy or circumstance. Herein the judiciary becomes the interpreter of laws, which is the prime function of the judiciary.

So the major task of the judiciary is to ‘determine’ the facts of laws and to apply them to particular circumstances.
