💡 Solution & Explanation

The Government of India Act, 1935, provided the statutory framework for establishing the Federal Court of India, which commenced operations in Delhi in 1937 and served as the precursor to the modern Supreme Court established post-independence. Alternative statutes like the 1919 Act introduced dyarchy in provinces, while the 1909 Act introduced separate electorates.
