The amendment was passed by the Parliament of India and ratified by the states.<\/p>\n<p>The amendment was passed in response to a growing demand for an increase in the retirement age of judges. The previous retirement age of 60 was considered to be too low, and it was argued that this was leading to a shortage of experienced judges. The amendment was also seen as a way to improve the quality of justice in India.<\/p>\n<p>The amendment has been welcomed by many, who argue that it will lead to a more experienced and qualified judiciary. However, some have also expressed concerns that it could lead to a decline in the independence of the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>The 12th Amendment is one of the most important amendments to the Constitution of India. It has had a significant impact on the judiciary, and it is likely to continue to do so in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not refer to an amendment that raised the age of retirement for judges of High Court to 62 from 60.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;12th&#8221; option2=&#8221;15th&#8221; option3=&#8221;10th&#8221; option4=&#8221;252th&#8221; correct=&#8221;option1&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-indian-politics","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Which amendment act raised the age of retirement for judges of High Court to 62 from 60?
