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.
