How does the process of appointing a Judge of a High Court differ from that of the Supreme Court in India?
The process of appointing a Judge of a High Court differs from that of the Supreme Court in India primarily in terms of who recommends the appointment. For the High Court, the recommendation comes from the National Judicial Appointments Commission (referred to in article 124A) and the Governor of the State, with the Chief Justice of the High Court also involved in the case of appointing a Judge other than the Chief Justice. In contrast, for the Supreme Court, the appointment is made by the President after consultation with the Chief Justice of India and other judges of the Supreme Court.
