It requires amendment in Constitution. Since ruling party does not have requisite strength to get the amendment through, it is discussing with other parties. It has been reported that main OP has consented to it subject to condition that a retiring judge shall not take any job thereafter.

Very Good movement to raise the age of HC judges from 62 to 65. Because the life span of the man increased to 66 yours in our country. So there will be no problem if the age is increased.
