The correct answer is: D. None of these

The Chief Minister of Jharkhand is appointed by the Governor of Jharkhand, on the advice of the Council of Ministers. The Chief Minister holds office during the pleasure of the Governor. The Judges of the Jharkhand High Court are appointed by the President of India, on the recommendation of the Chief Justice of India. The Judges hold office until they attain the age of 62 years.

The statement “The Judges of Jharkhand High Court are appointed in the way as the Chief Minister i.e. for a term of 5 years” is incorrect. The Chief Minister is appointed for a term of 5 years, but the Judges of the Jharkhand High Court are appointed until they attain the age of 62 years.

The statement “The judges should be working in the similar position in the subordinate courts” is also incorrect. The Judges of the Jharkhand High Court are appointed from among persons who are qualified to be appointed as Judges of the Supreme Court of India. They do not need to have worked in the subordinate courts.
