The correct answer is option 1, The President. The Chief Justice of a High Court is appointed by the President of India. The President has the authority to appoint judges of the High Court in consultation with the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the concerned state. This appointment is made based on the recommendations of the Chief Justice of the concerned High Court and the Collegium. Once appointed, the Chief Justice of the High Court holds office until the age of 62 years. It is important to note that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court does not have the authority to directly appoint the Chief Justice of a High Court.
