In India a very long tenure is impossible, even if it is desirable, because, unlike in the US our Constitution prescribes an age of retirement — 62 for a judge of a High Court and 65 in the case of a judge of the Supreme Court, including the Chief Justice.
That judgment was concerned with infusing life in to the expression, “consultation” with the Chief Justice of India in the matter of appointment of judges including Chief justices, and transfer of judges from one High Court to another.

New Delhi, July 14 (IANS) The Supreme Court has said that most public interest litigations (PILs) are filed by people for the sake of publicity and asked high courts to ignore these petitions.
It has asked the high courts to throw out frivolous PILs imposing exemplary costs when there was material to show that such these petitions were nothing but "camouflage to foster personal disputes".
The bench regretted that though the apex court in a number of cases had indicated the parameters of PIL, yet courts were entertaining such petitions and wasting valuable judicial time, which could be otherwise utilised for disposal of genuine cases.
