Exam answer
The SESSIONS COURT (the Court of the Sessions Judge) is the highest criminal court in a district. It tries serious offences such as murder, dacoity and robbery, and alone may pass a sentence of death — subject to confirmation by the High Court.
Explanation
One name earns the mark; the death-sentence detail shows you know why it is the highest. Its civil counterpart is the Court of the District Judge. The point examiners like is that the SAME OFFICER presides over both, called the District Judge in civil matters and the Sessions Judge in criminal ones.
