What is Article 224A about in relation to retired Judges and their appointment at sittings of High Courts?
Article 224A is about the appointment of retired judges at sittings of High Courts. The National Judicial Appointments Commission, on a reference made to it by the Chief Justice of a High Court for any State and with the previous consent of the President, may request any person who has held the office of a Judge of that Court or of any other High Court to sit and act as a Judge of the High Court for that State. These retired judges will be entitled to allowances determined by the President while sitting and acting, and will have all the jurisdiction, powers and privileges of, but shall not otherwise be deemed to be, a Judge of that High Court. However, they are not required to sit and act as a Judge unless they consent to do so.
