The Constitution Of Islamic Republic Of Pakistan QUESTION #9366
Question 1
A Judge of a High Court is qualified for appointment under Article 193 if they have been an advocate of a High Court for not less than:
  • Five years
  • Ten years✔️
  • Fifteen years
  • Twenty years
Correct Answer Explanation
Article 193(2)(a), as amended by the 26th Amendment 2024, provides that a person must have 'for a period of not less than ten years, been an advocate of a High Court.' The same period applies to judicial office under clause (2)(b). The earlier standard set by pre-2024 provisions required different periods.
