💡 Solution & Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Articles 233 and 234 govern the appointments of district judges and other judicial officers through gubernatorial action in consultation with High Courts and Public Service Commissions. Statement 3 is incorrect because Article 235 explicitly vests control over district courts and subordinate courts, including postings, promotions, and-leave, in the *High Court*, insulating the judiciary from executive interference in administrative matters.
