Consolidated Fund of India
Consolidated Fund of the state where he last served
Consolidated Funds of the different states where he has served
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is A. Consolidated Fund of India.
The pension of a high court judge is charged to the Consolidated Fund of India. This is because the high court judges are appointed by the President of India and are paid by the Government of India. The Consolidated Fund of India is a fund into which all the revenues received by the Government of India are credited. It is also from this fund that all the expenditure of the Government of India is met.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B is incorrect because the Consolidated Fund of a state is a fund into which all the revenues received by the state government are credited. It is also from this fund that all the expenditure of the state government is met. The pension of a high court judge is not a state government expenditure.
- Option C is incorrect because the Consolidated Funds of the different states are not the sources of the pension of a high court judge. The pension of a high court judge is a central government expenditure and is charged to the Consolidated Fund of India.
- Option D is incorrect because the Contingency Fund of India is a fund that is used to meet unforeseen expenditure. The pension of a high court judge is not an unforeseen expenditure and is charged to the Consolidated Fund of India.
