Common Mistakes to Avoid
A High Court exists separately for every State, so every State must have its own High Court.
The Chief Justice of a High Court and the other judges are appointed in exactly the same way, with the same consultation list.
High Court judges can be removed by a simple majority in Parliament or by the Governor.
