This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

State Judiciary

In a state's governance structure, legal matters and disputes are handled by the judicial branch rather than the legislative bodies.

The State Judiciary, headed by the High Court and the subordinate courts, interprets laws, settles disputes, and delivers justice within the state.

The Vidhan Sabha, Legislative Council, and Rajya Sabha are legislative bodies responsible for making laws, not for adjudicating legal disputes.
