Answer to Legal GK Question Correct Answer: B) 2 only Explanation: • Statement 1 - Incorrect: The retirement age of High Court Judges was increased by amending Article 217, not Article 224. Article 224 deals with the appointment of additional and acting judges in High Courts. • Statement 2 - Correct: The Constitution (15th Amendment) Act, 1963 indeed increased the retirement age from 60 to 62 years by amending Article 217. • Statement 3 - Incorrect: The retirement age of High Court Judges has never been the same as that of Supreme Court Judges. Even before the 15th Amendment, High Court Judges retired at 60, while Supreme Court Judges retired at 65 years, a provision that remains unchanged. Hence, only Statement 2 is correct.
