Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1971.
The High Court of Delhi continued to exercise jurisdiction over Himachal Pradesh until the establishment of the Himachal Pradesh High Court on January 25, 1971. Prior to this, the judicial matters of Himachal Pradesh were overseen by the Delhi High Court following its establishment in 1966.
The creation of a separate high court for Himachal Pradesh marked a significant development in the judicial administration of the state, allowing it to have its own independent judiciary to address legal issues and cases within its jurisdiction.
