<h1>Article 217 Amended: Distinguished Jurists Now Eligible for High Court Judgeship, Effective January 3, 1977.</h1> The Constitution (42nd Amendment) Act, 1976, amended Article 217 by modifying clause (2). It inserted the word 'or' at the end of sub-clause (b) and added a new sub-clause (c), allowing the President to consider a person a distinguished jurist. Additionally, it revised the Explanation in clause (a) to include those who have held judicial office, a tribunal position, or any post requiring special legal knowledge under the Union or a State. These changes took effect on January 3, 1977.
