Which Article of the Constitution of India grants power to the President to appoint Judges of the Supreme Court?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Identify the relevant Article.

Article $124(2)$ of the Constitution states that "Every Judge of the Supreme Court shall be appointed by the President." This directly vests the appointment power for Supreme Court judges in the President.

Step 2: Eliminate other options.

- Article $123(1)$ deals with the President's power to promulgate ordinances, not judicial appointments.
- Articles $127$ and $128$ concern ancillary provisions related to the Supreme Court (such as attendance of retired judges and related matters) but do not grant the President the power to appoint Supreme Court judges.

Therefore the correct choice is option (1) i.e. Article $124(2)$, corresponding to option "a".
