What is the retirement age of a Supreme Court Judge?
The retirement age of a Supreme Court Judge in India is 65 years.
The retirement age of a Supreme Court Judge in India is 65 years. This is the age at which judges of the Supreme Court in India cease to hold office, while High Court judges retire at the age of 62 years. This age limit is set to maintain a balance of experience and renewal in the judiciary while respecting the extensive powers held by the Supreme Court as the highest judicial body in India.
For clarity, this applies specifically to the Indian Supreme Court, which includes the Chief Justice of India and other judges appointed by the President of India. In contrast, in the United States, Supreme Court justices are appointed for life without a fixed retirement age.
