General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AAt least five years as a Judge of a High Court
- BAt least ten years as an Advocate of a High Court
- CIn the opinion of the President, a distinguished Jurist
- DAt least twenty years as at Sub-Judicial Magistrate
Explanation
A person is qualified for appointment as a Supreme Court judge if they have been a High Court judge for five years, an advocate of a High Court for ten years, or are a distinguished jurist in the President's opinion. Twenty years as a subordinate judicial magistrate is not one of the prescribed qualifications under Article 124. Hence that option is the incorrect qualification.
