• A. 26th January, 1950
• B. 28th January, 1950

• D. 30th January, 1950

Hint:

Two-day gap to remember: Constitution 26 Jan → Supreme Court 28 Jan.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Context.
The Constitution came into force on 26 January 1950, replacing the Federal Court of India (1937–1950) with the Supreme Court.

Step 2: Exact establishment date.
The Supreme Court of India held its first sitting and formally came into being on 28 January 1950 (initially in the Chamber of Princes, Parliament House).

Step 3: Eliminate nearby dates.
26 Jan is Republic Day/Constitution enforcement; 29–30 Jan have no bearing on establishment.

Step 4: Conclude.
\[ \boxed{\text{28th January, 1950 (Option B).}} \]
