Who holds the authority of transferring judges from one High court to another High Court?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. The President of India.

In India, the authority to transfer judges from one High Court to another lies with the President of India. However, this is done in consultation with the Chief Justice of India (CJI). The CJI's advice is generally binding in this matter, following a recommendation from the Collegium of the Supreme Court. The transfer is often done for administrative reasons or to maintain judicial independence and balance within the judiciary system.
