Chief Justice of a High Court is appointed by the President with consent of the Governor by which Article?

Article 217
Article 218
Article 219
Article 220

The correct answer is: A. Article 217

Article 217 of the Constitution of India states that the Chief Justice of a High Court shall be appointed by the President after consultation with the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the State concerned.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Article 218 deals with the appointment of other judges of a High Court.
  • Article 219 deals with the transfer of judges of a High Court.
  • Article 220 deals with the salaries, allowances and leave of absence of judges of a High Court.

I hope this helps!
