Which of the following is **NOT** a qualification for the appointment of judges of the Supreme Court of India according to Article 124(3)?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. According to Article 124(3) of the Indian Constitution, the qualifications for appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court are:
   - The person must be a citizen of India.
   - The person must have been a Judge of a High Court (or two or more such courts in succession) for at least five years.
   - Or, the person must have been an advocate of a High Court (or two or more such courts in succession) for at least ten years.
   - Or, the person must be, in the opinion of the President, a distinguished jurist.

2. The key point is that the qualification mentions advocacy in a High Court, not the Supreme Court.

3. Therefore, being an advocate of the Supreme Court for at least ten years is **not** a qualification mentioned under Article 124(3).

**Answer:** An advocate of Supreme Court for at least ten years
