Who will determine the age of a Judge of the Supreme Court?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Article 124(2A), a Supreme Court judge’s age is determined by such authority and in such manner as Parliament may provide by law. The Constitution therefore leaves the authority to legislation rather than directly naming the President. The President’s role in deciding a disputed High Court judge’s age under Article 217(3) is a different provision.
