Detailed explanation-1: -The International Court of Justice is composed of 15 judges elected to nine-year terms of office by the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council. These organs vote simultaneously but separately. In order to be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of the votes in both bodies.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are currently 34 judges (including the Chief Justice) who comprise the Supreme Court of India, the highest court in the country. The maximum possible strength is 34.
Detailed explanation-3: -But, the Act fixes the maximum number of judges in the Supreme Court at 30 judges (excluding the Chief Justice of India). Therefore, the Supreme Court of India can comprise a maximum of one Chief Justice and not more than 30 other Judges appointed by the President of India.
