Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The salaries and allowances of High Court judges are charged on the Consolidated Fund of the State in which the High Court functions. Authoritative summaries and legal commentaries state that while pensions of High Court judges are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India, the recurring emoluments (salaries and allowances) are borne by the respective State Consolidated Fund. This distinction is underscored in statutory and explanatory material noting pensions as a central charge but operational pay (salaries/allowances) as a state charge, making Option 2 (Consolidated Fund of the State) the correct choice [1].
