Tenure, Removal and Transfer of High Court Judges

High Court judges generally serve until the age of 62, although this may vary slightly based on state provisions. Their removal is permitted only for proven misbehaviour or incapacity, following a strict process that safeguards judicial independence. Additionally, judges may be transferred between High Courts to maintain an efficient and balanced judicial system.

In simple language, these measures ensure that judges can work without fear of arbitrary dismissal while remaining accountable for their conduct. Recent debates have centered on the fairness of the removal process and the need for transparency in transfers.

Overall, these provisions help maintain judicial stability and protect the integrity of the legal system.
