The instructor begins by introducing the central theme displayed in a red banner: "ऐसे उच्च न्यायालय जिनके अधिकार में राज्य के साथ केंद्रशासित प्रदेश भी आते है" (Such High Courts whose jurisdiction includes Union Territories along with the State). He gestures towards the first box on the left, "बम्बई HC" (Bombay HC), and points to the sub-item "दादर और नगर हवेली" (Dadra and Nagar Haveli). He writes the year "1966" in red ink above the chart, likely referencing the year Dadra and Nagar Haveli was transferred to Bombay HC jurisdiction. He explains that Bombay HC serves both the state of Maharashtra and this specific Union Territory, establishing a precedent for shared jurisdiction. He emphasizes the connection between the state and the UT.

Moving to the center, the instructor points to "कलकत्ता HC" (Calcutta HC) and its jurisdiction over "अंडमान निकोबार द्वीप समूह" (Andaman Nicobar Islands). He then shifts to the right to "पंजाब & हरियाणा HC" (Punjab & Haryana HC), highlighting its jurisdiction over "चंडीगढ़" (Chandigarh). Below, he indicates "केरल HC" (Kerala HC) covering "लक्षद्वीप" (Lakshadweep) and "मद्रास HC" (Madras HC) covering "पुडुचेरी" (Puducherry). He systematically goes through each pair, reinforcing the concept that these High Courts have a dual role in administering justice for both states and Union Territories. He uses his pen to point at the text clearly.
The lesson provides a clear visual mapping of the Indian High Court system's jurisdiction over Union Territories. By listing Bombay, Calcutta, Punjab & Haryana, Kerala, and Madras High Courts, the instructor clarifies which courts handle specific UTs like Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Andaman Nicobar, Chandigarh, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry. The handwritten note "1966" adds a historical dimension, likely marking the legal change that established these jurisdictions. This structured approach helps students memorize the specific pairings required for competitive exams. The video effectively breaks down a complex legal concept into manageable visual components.
