Government of India Act, 1935: Federal Court Judges Appointment

The Government of India Act, 1935, was a significant piece of legislation that aimed to restructure India's constitutional framework. A key feature of this Act was the provision for the establishment of a Federal Court, which was intended to be the highest court in British India.

The Act outlined the composition of this Federal Court. It was to be presided over by a Chief Justice. Additionally, the Act provided for the appointment of other judges to assist the Chief Justice in the functioning of the court.

The question asks specifically about the number of judges appointed along with the Chief Justice. This phrasing typically refers to the number of judges appointed in addition to the Chief Justice, or the total number of judges including the Chief Justice. Considering the options provided and the context of the Act's provisions for the Federal Court's structure, the number of judges appointed along with the Chief Justice was 6.

This means the Federal Court was constituted with a Chief Justice and 5 other judges, making a total of 6 judges.

  • Chief Justice: 1
  • Other Judges: 5
  • Total Judges: $1 + 5 = 6$

Therefore, 6 judges were appointed along with the Chief Justice according to the Government of India Act, 1935.
