Question
How are the judges of the Supreme Court appointed?
Advertisements
Solution
Our Constitution makes it necessary for the executive to consult qualified judges for the appointment of the Supreme Court judges. Therefore, all the Supreme Court judges are appointed by the President after consulting with the Prime Minister and his Council of Ministers. Every judge of the Supreme Court
is appointed only after the President has consulted the Chief Justice and other Judges of the Supreme Court and of the High Court. The Chief Justice appointed is the senior most judge of the Supreme Court. When the Chief Justice is unable to perform the duties of his office, by reason of absence or otherwise, the President appoints another judge of the Supreme Court as the acting Chief Justice.
