A Judge of the Supreme Court retires upon attaining the age of ______ years.

  1. 58
  2. 60
  3. 62
  4. 65

Answer: 65

Article 124(2): SC Judges retire at 65 years; HC Judges at 62 years (Article 217). Judges can resign by writing to President. This age differentiation recognizes SC's greater workload and complexity, while ensuring regular infusion of fresh judicial talent at both levels.
