Question

When does the president appoint an ‘Acting Judge’ for the High Court ?

• A. When the number of cases are high.
• B. When the permanent Judges are temporarily unavailable.
• C. When the permanent Judges demand.
• D. At a regular interval of two months.

Answer 1

The correct option is B When the permanent Judges are temporarily unavailable.

When permanent Judges are temporarily unable to perform their duties, the President then appoints an ‘Acting Judge’ for the High Court. The Acting Judge carries out the responsibilities of the permanent Judge until he/she can resume their work.
