Correct:
C
Explanation
The Constitution’s interpretative provision for the chapter on subordinate courts (Article 236 as reproduced in standard texts) gives an inclusive list of who constitutes a “district judge”, explicitly naming city civil court judges, additional/joint/assistant district judges, the chief judge of a small causes court, chief presidency magistrate (and additional chief presidency magistrate), sessions judge and their additional/assistant counterparts [1]. That authoritative list does not mention members of tribunals. Therefore, among the given options only “tribunal judge” is not included within the constitutional definition of “district judge”, making option 3 the correct choice [1].
