The correct answer is option 2, Consolidated Fund of India.

To understand why this is the correct answer, let`s first define what the Consolidated Fund of India is. The Consolidated Fund of India is the primary fund which holds all the revenues received by the government, as well as all loans raised by the government. It is essentially the pool of money from which the government draws to meet its expenses.

Now, when it comes to the salaries and allowances of Judges of High Court of a State, these payments are charged to the Consolidated Fund of India. This means that the money used to pay the salaries and allowances of Judges is taken from the Consolidated Fund of India.

The other options mentioned in the question are not the correct funds to which the salaries and allowances of Judges are charged. The Contingency Fund of India, for example, is a fund set up to meet unforeseen expenses and emergencies. The Public Accounts Fund of India is used for transactions that do not belong to the government`s regular revenue accounts. The Public Accounts Fund of the concerned State is specific to the state and not applicable to the salaries of Judges.

Therefore, the correct fund to which the salaries and allowances of Judges of High Court of a State are charged is the Consolidated Fund
