Explanation:

Note: There is a difference between Additional Judge and Acting Judge.
The President can appoint duly qualified persons as additional judges of a high court for a temporary period not exceeding two years when:
1. there is a temporary increase in the business of the high court; or
2. there are arrears of work in the high court.
The President can also appoint a duly qualified person as an acting judge of a high court when a judge of that high court (other than the chief justice) is:
1. unable to perform the duties of his office due to absence or any other reason; or
2. appointed to act temporarily as chief justice of that high court.
An acting judge holds office until the permanent judge resumes his office. However, both the additional or acting judge cannot hold office after attaining the age of 62 years.
