Which of the following appointments are made by the Governor of a particular state?

(a) Judges of the High Court of that state
(b) District Judges in that state

(c) Advocate-General for that state
Choose the correct answer.

Correct Answer: (a) Only (b) and (c)

Explanation:
According to the Constitution of India:

The Governor appoints District Judges of the state under Article 233, in consultation with the High Court.

The Governor appoints the Advocate-General of the state under Article 165.

However, Judges of the High Court are appointed by the President of India under Article 217, not by the Governor. Hence, statements B and C are correct, while A is incorrect.

Information Booster:
The Governor acts as the constitutional head of the state and performs appointments as prescribed by the Constitution, often in consultation with other constitutional authorities to maintain judicial independence.

Statement A: Incorrect because High Court judges are appointed by the President, not the Governor.

Statement B: Correct as District Judges are appointed by the Governor.

Statement C: Correct since the Advocate-General is appointed by the Governor.

Option (b): Incorrect because it ignores the appointment of District Judges.

Option (c): Incorrect because High Court judges are not appointed by the Governor.

Option D: Incorrect because it wrongly includes High Court judges.
