Real questions that test this

1)ती व्यक्ती भारताच्या प्रादेशिक क्षेत्रात दहा वर्षे न्यायिक पदावर असली पाहिजे. / He must have been held a judicial office in the territory of India for ten years.
2)त्या व्यक्तिने उच्च न्यायालयात दहा वर्षे वकिली केलेली असली पाहिजे. / He must have been an advocate of a High Court for ten years.
3)राष्ट्रपतीच्या मते ती व्यक्ती अग्रगण्य कायदेतज्ञ असली पाहिजे. / He must, in the opinion of the President, be a distinguished jurist.✓ Correct
4)वरीलपैकी एकही नाही. / None of the above.

Criteria for High Court judge appointment include being a citizen of India, holding a judicial office for 10 years, or being an advocate of a High Court for 10 years. Minimum age criteria is NOT prescribed in the Constitution for High Court judges.

भारताचे मुख्य न्यायाधीश भूषण गवई यांच्या बाबत काय खरे नाही ? Chief Justice of India, Bhushan Gawai which is not true about him ?

1)त्यांचा जन्म 24 नोव्हेंबर 1960 रोजी झाला. / He was born on 24th November 1960.
2)त्यांनी सांविधानिक कायदा व प्रशासकीय कायदा मध्ये प्रॅक्टीस केली आहे. / He practiced in Constitutional Law and Administrative Law.
3)जानेवारी 2005 रोजी त्यांची नागपूर खंडपीठात सरकारी अधिवक्ता आणि सरकारी वकील म्हणून नियुक्ती झाली. / He was appointed as Government Pleader and Public Prosecutor for Nagpur Bench in January 2005.✓ Correct
4)त्यांना मे, 2019 रोजी भारताच्या सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाचे न्यायाधीश म्हणून बढती देण्यात आली. / He was elevated as a Judge of the Supreme Court of India in May 2019.

Justice Bhushan Gavai was appointed as a Supreme Court judge in May 2019. Statement 3 is incorrect because he served as a judge of the Bombay High Court and was appointed as Government Pleader earlier, but the specific detailed date or designation context in statement 3 contains incorrect official facts compared to his actual judicial career milestones.
