D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statements 1 and 3 are correct because Article 233 vests appointment of district judges in the Governor in consultation with the High Court, and Article 235 vests administrative control over subordinate courts in the High Court. Statement 2 is incorrect because the State Public Service Commission has no role in the promotion and posting of district judges; consultation with the High Court is mandatory and binding in these judicial administrative matters.
