Article 224A of the Constitution of India provides for the appointment of retired judges at sittings of High Courts. It states that the Chief Justice of a High Court for any State may at any time, with the previous consent of the President, request any person who has held the office of a Judge of that Court or of any other High Court to sit and act as a Judge of the High Court for that State.

This provision allows for the temporary engagement of retired High Court judges to help clear backlog or assist with judicial work when needed, ensuring the efficient functioning of the High Court.

Article 224A was inserted by the Constitution (Fifteenth Amendment) Act, 1963. This is distinct from the appointment of additional and acting judges (Article 224), who are appointed for a specific period to address temporary increases in the business of the High Court or absence of a judge.
