Ramesh has retired as a judge of the Supreme Court of India. In which of the following courts can he practise as a lawyer?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → None of the above
Article 124(7) says that a person who has held office as a judge of the Supreme Court shall not plead or act in any court or before any authority within the territory of India. So Ramesh cannot practise in the Supreme Court, in any High Court or in any lower court. (A retired High Court judge, by Article 220, may still practise in the Supreme Court and in High Courts other than his own.)
