60 years
-

Correct Answer:
C. 65 years
Explanation:
According to Article 124(2) of the Indian Constitution, judges of the Supreme Court serve until they reach the age of 65. This retirement age applies to both the Chief Justice of India and the other justices of the apex court. In contrast, High Court judges in India retire at the age of 62. The 65-year limit was established by the Constituent Assembly to ensure a balance between utilizing the extensive legal experience of senior judges and maintaining a regular rotation of new appointments within the judiciary.
