[amp_mcq option1=”During the pleasure of the Chief Justice of India” option2=”Till they have attained 62 years of age” option3=”Till they have attained 65 years of age” option4=”As long as they desire” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: C. Till they have attained 65 years of age.
The Constitution of India, Article 222(1), states that a Judge of a High Court holds office until he attains the age of sixty-five years.
Option A is incorrect because the Chief Justice of India does not have the power to remove a Judge of a High Court from office. Only the President of India can do so, on the recommendation of the Supreme Court Collegium.
Option B is incorrect because the retirement age of a Judge of a High Court is 65 years, not 62 years.
Option D is incorrect because a Judge of a High Court cannot hold office as long as they desire. They must retire at the age of 65 years.
