💨 Abstract

Judges in India can be dismissed through 'compulsory retirement' after reaching certain age milestones, such as 50, 55, and 58 in Gujarat. This practice, originating from 19th-century British India, allows High Courts to dismiss judges without disciplinary hearings or providing specific reasons. The decision is based on the judges' performance as evaluated by their superiors.
