The correct answer is: The President of India.
The President of India is empowered to transfer a Judge from one High Court to another High Court under Article 222 of the Constitution of India. The President can do so on the recommendation of the Chief Justice of India.
The Law Minister of India is not empowered to transfer a Judge from one High Court to another High Court. The Union Cabinet is also not empowered to do so.
The Chief Justice of India can only recommend the transfer of a Judge to the President. The final decision rests with the President.
