Q1. Which Indian constitutional amendment raised the retirement age of a High Court judge from 60 to 62 years?
A 15th Constitutional Amendment Correct
B 16th Constitutional Amendment
C 17th Constitutional Amendment
D 18th Constitutional Amendment
Explanation
The 15th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1963 raised the retirement age of High Court judges from 60 to 62 years, so it directly matches the question. The 16th Amendment dealt mainly with sovereignty, integrity and restrictions on rights such as speech and association. The 17th Amendment concerned land reform laws and the Ninth Schedule. The 18th Amendment clarified Parliament's power in relation to the formation of new states and alteration of areas. None of these changed the retirement age of High Court judges.
