    Solution

    • The President of India, not the Governor, appoints High Court judges. • A judge must have been an advocate or judicial officer for at least 10 years (not 15 years). • Removal process: A High Court judge can be removed by impeachment on the grounds of proved misbehavior or incapacity, similar to a Supreme Court judge. • High Court judges retire at 62 years (not 65, which is for Supreme Court judges).
