Explanation:

- Let’s break it down: Election petitions are basically legal challenges to election results—think of them as a formal way to say “I don’t think this election was fair.”

- Option 1: High Court –  This is actually the right answer. The power to decide on election petitions for Parliament and State legislatures sits with the High Courts, according to the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

- Option 2: Election Commission – They handle conducting elections, voter rolls, and the like, but don’t rule on petitions.

- Option 3: Parliament – Makes the laws but doesn’t act as a judge in election disputes.

- Option 4: Supreme Court – It can hear appeals from High Court decisions on these matters, but isn’t the first stop.

So, the High Court is where you take an election petition, not the Election Commission.
