B) Incorrect: Judges of High Courts and the Supreme Court are appointed by the President, not the Governor of the State. The Governor is consulted in the appointment of High Court Judges.
D) Incorrect: In Union Territories with a legislative setup (like Delhi, Puducherry), the Chief Minister is appointed by the President, usually acting through the Lt.
