What to Focus On

  • The Supreme Court has 25 judges: 1 Chief Justice and 24 other judges.
  • The first CJI was Harilal J. Kania.
  • The President appoints judges, but consultations ensure judicial independence.
  • Judges are appointed by the President in consultation with the judiciary.
  • Since 1999, the Collegium System (CJI + 4 senior judges) recommends appointments.
  • Qualifications: 5 years as High Court judge OR 10 years as advocate OR a distinguished jurist.
  • Judges retire at the age of 65.
  • Can be removed only by impeachment for misbehaviour or incapacity.
  • Impeachment requires 2/3 majority in both Houses of Parliament.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The President can remove a Supreme Court judge anytime since he appoints them.

The Supreme Court only hears appeals from High Courts and does not decide cases directly.

The Chief Justice of India is appointed by the Prime Minister.
