The Chief Justice of India, like other Supreme Court justices, is appointed until the age of 65. There is no fixed term for the Chief Justice, as they serve at the pleasure of the President of India, but they typically hold the position for about three to four years, depending on their age at the time of appointment. Justices of the Supreme Court can also serve until they reach the age of 65, but their tenure can be cut short by retirement, resignation, or removal.
