The high court is supreme but in most cases the honorable high court refer such cases to Election commission. But in Presidential election matters the case has decided by the Supreme court.

Would you please explain it

But some times it is of course needed.

As far as my knowledge goes the power to decide an election petition is vested with Supreme Court. There have been instance of the Apex Court giving verdict related to electoral issues like when PA Sangama raised the matter that the presidential elections were rigged.

The SC was the one which called the shots and likewise when eminent lawyer Prashant Bhushan had filed a petition for electoral reforms to bring in NOTA in EVMS in that case too supreme court gave the verdict.

One can appeal for an election petition in high court and it will take the decision.

What is right answer high court or election commission?

Why high court decides elections?

Wrong answer. Supreme Court is the correct answer.

How it could be High court?

I think supreme has the power to hear election petition nor high court.
