Can a judge who was immediately before such commencement drawing any amount as allowance continue to receive it?
Yes, a judge who was immediately before such commencement drawing any amount as allowance can continue to receive it in respect of time spent on actual service as the Chief Justice or other Judge. This is because according to the context provided, sub-paragraph (3) states that if a person was holding office as the Chief Justice of a High Court in a State specified in Part B of the First Schedule and has on such commencement become the Chief Justice of a High Court in a State specified in the said Schedule as amended by the said Act, he shall be entitled to receive the same amount as allowance in addition to the salary specified in sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph.
