B. Government of India Act of 1935✓ Correct Answer
C. Indian Councils Act of 1909
D. Indian Independence Act of 1947
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Government of India Act of 1935 provided the statutory framework for establishing a Federal Court in India, which formally commenced its judicial functions in Delhi in the year 1937. Earlier acts like the Morley-Minto reforms of 1909 or the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms of 1919 introduced legislative councils and dyarchy without setting up a federal judicial tribunal. This Federal Court functioned as an intermediate appellate body before the Supreme Court of India was established under the post-independence constitution.
