Statement C is not correct. Judges of the State High Courts are appointed by the President of India, not the Governor of the state. The President makes the appointment in consultation with the Chief Justice of India, the Governor of the state, and the Chief Justice of the concerned High Court (Article 217).<\/section>\n
While the Governor is consulted in the process of appointing High Court judges, the power of appointment rests with the President, not the Governor. This highlights a key difference in the judicial powers between the President at the Union level and the Governor at the State level.<\/section>\n
Statement A is correct; the Governor is a constitutional head of the state and does not possess diplomatic or military powers, which are vested in the President as head of the Union. Statement B is correct in that the Governor possesses analogous executive, legislative, and judicial powers within the state sphere, although their scope and impact differ from those of the President. Statement D was correct based on the constitutional provision (Article 333) before it was discontinued by the 104th Amendment Act, 2019. Assuming the question refers to the position before the amendment, this statement would be considered correct.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
