Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud stated that judges must retire in order for succeeding generations to identify errors of the past and update legal principles for society to evolve. While the American constitution has no age of retirement for judges, in India, judges retire after a certain age. Chandrachud believes that it would be too much responsibility to expect judges to continue indefinitely without acknowledging their fallibility. Currently, the retirement age for judges in India is 60 years in lower courts, 62 in high courts, and 65 in the Supreme Court.
