{'high court': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'age': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'years': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'judge': [6, 1, 14, 17]}

The correct answer is option 3: 62 years.

In India, the retirement age for a Judge of a High Court is determined by the Constitution. According to Article 217(1) of the Constitution, a Judge of a High Court is required to retire at the age of 62.

It is important to note that option 1 (58 years), option 2 (60 years), and option 4 (65 years) provided in the question are incorrect. The retirement age for a Judge of a High Court is specifically mentioned as 62 years in the Constitution.

It is crucial to have a clear understanding of the retirement age for judicial positions, as it ensures that there is a regular turnover of judges and promotes fresh perspectives on the bench. Additionally, it allows for opportunities for new appointments and advancements within the judicial system.
