How are officers and servants of High Courts appointed and what are their conditions of service according to Article 229?
As per Article 229, appointments of officers and servants of a High Court are made by the Chief Justice of the Court or another Judge or officer of the Court as directed. The conditions of service of officers and servants are prescribed by rules made by the Chief Justice or another authorized Judge or officer. These rules require the approval of the Governor of the State, especially in matters related to salaries, allowances, leave, or pensions.
