Hint:
The judicial system of India is classified into three levels (or hierarchy) of courts with multiple subsidiaries courts under it. Topping the hierarchy is the Supreme court of India followed by the High court and the District courts.

Complete answer:
The Indian judiciary is formerly known as the colonial judiciary and was founded in Mayor’s court, Madras in 1726. The judiciary is the system of courts whose job is to interpret and apply the law. The Indian judicial system (as per the constitution of India) is an arm of the All India Services.
The hierarchy of courts are as follows – 1) Supreme Court, 2) High Courts, & 3) District Courts (other courts are mostly considered as subsidiaries of these courts).
The judges of district courts are appointed through respective state public service commission or by the High court. Whereas, the judges of the Supreme Court and the high court are appointed by the President.
Now,
Taluka – taluka or tehsil in India are the division of parts of the state. There are 5650 talukas present in India. Taluka courts are subsidiaries to district courts.
District – these are the local courts of the state government for every district (or for one or more districts).
State – state level courts are the High court, these courts have jurisdiction over a state, union territory or a group of state and union territory.

Therefore the answer is False

Note:
Our judicial system has inherited the legacy of the colonial legal system, the princely states (mid – 19th century) and partly the practises of ancient and medieval times. In modern times the highest-ranking officer of the Indian federal judiciary system is the head and chief judge of the Supreme Court of India as well as the chief justice of India.
