UPSC 2006: Consider the following statements: 1. A person who has held office as a permanent Judge of a High Court cannot plead or act in any court or before any authority in India except the Supreme Court. 2. A person is not qualified for appointment as a Judge of a High Court in India unless he has for at least five years held a judicial office in the territory of India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
Article 220 allows a retired permanent High Court judge to practise in the Supreme Court and in High Courts other than the one he served, so statement 1 is wrong. Article 217(2) requires at least TEN years’ judicial service (or advocacy) for appointment as a High Court judge, not five years, so statement 2 is also wrong. Therefore neither statement is correct.
