Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) tribunal judge
Article 236(a) states that ‘district judge’ includes judges of city civil courts, additional/joint/assistant district judges, chief judge of a small-cause court, chief presidency magistrate and sessions judges, but it makes no mention of any ‘tribunal judge’. Therefore the term does not cover a tribunal judge. ([constitutionofindia.net](https://www.constitutionofindia.net/articles/article-236-interpretation/?utm_source=openai))
