Answer
Exam answer
A judge of the Supreme Court holds office until he attains the age of 65 years.
Explanation
One mark for one figure, so state it plainly. Fix both retirement ages together, since papers ask for either: SUPREME Court 65 years, HIGH Court 62 years. A judge may also resign by writing to the President, or be removed by impeachment for proved misbehaviour or incapacity — worth adding in a second sentence if the question allows.
