Which of the following statement is/are NOT correct in the context of the salaries and allowances of judges of High Court and Supreme Courts in India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option 1 - The salaries and allowances of judges are fixed and are subject to vote of the legislature.
The salaries and allowances of judges are fixed by law, but they are not subject to a vote by the legislature every time a change is proposed.
Specific Acts of Parliament define the salaries and allowances of judges. These Acts can be amended through the legislative process, but a regular vote isn't required for adjustments.
The salaries and allowances of judges are fixed and not subject to vote of the legislature. Judges derive their salaries from the consolidated fund of India (for the Supreme Court) and consolidated fund of state (in case of High Courts). Their emoluments cannot be altered to their disadvantage except in the event of financial emergency.
