Question
Describe the composition of a High Court in a state.
Solution
The High Court: The number of judges in a High Court is not fixed according to our Constitution. Every High Court has a Chief Justice and a number of other judges. It is only the President who can fix the number of judges in a High Court.
Appointment of Judges: The Chief Justice and other judges of a High Court are appointed by the President. While appointing the Chief Justice, the President consults the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the State. While appointing other judges of a High Court he consults the Governor, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of the High Court concerned.
