The Correct Answer is Option 3. • The judges of a high court are appointed by the President. The chief justice is appointed by the President after consultation with the chief justice of India and the governor of the state concerned. For the appointment of other judges, the chief justice of the concerned high court is also consulted. In the case of a common high court for two or more states, the governors of all the states concerned are consulted by the president. • A person to be appointed as a judge of a high court should have the following qualifications: • He should be a citizen of India. • He should have held a judicial office in the territory of India for ten years • He should have been an advocate of a high court (or high courts in succession) for ten years. • From the above, it is clear that the Constitution has not prescribed minimum age for appointment as a judge of a high court. • Moreover, unlike in the case of the Supreme Court, the Consitution makes no provision for the appointment of a distinguished jurist as a judge of a high court.
