Consider the following statements regarding the High Courts in India: 1. Every High Court consists of a Chief Justice and such other judges as the President may from time to time deem necessary to appoint. 2. A High Court judge submits their resignation in writing to the Governor of the State. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A. 1 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 2 only
C. Both 1 and 2
D. Neither 1 nor 2
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because Article 216 provides that every High Court shall consist of a Chief Justice and other judges appointed by the President. Statement 2 is incorrect because a High Court judge resigns by writing to the President of India, not the Governor, despite being appointed after consulting the Governor. High court judges are removable in the same manner as Supreme Court judges.
