Appointment of Chief Judge and Judges of the High Court of a State

Section 271(4) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(4) If the office of Chief Judge of a State is vacant or if the person holding the office is for any person unable to perform the functions of the office, then until a person has been appointed to and has assumed the functions of that office, or until the person holding the office has resumed those functions, the Governor of the State shall appoint the most senior Judge of the High Court to perform those functions.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
