Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Analyze Statement I.
Judges of Supreme Court:
As per Article 124(7), a retired judge can serve in other tribunals, commissions, etc., so (I) is
incorrect
as it implies unrestricted eligibility.
Step 2: Analyze Statement II.
Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG):
After retirement, the CAG is
not eligible for further office
under any government.
Step 3: Conclude.
Only (II) is correct.
