Supreme Court flags pension-related grievances of District Judges, ask Centre to find way out

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Thursday flagged issues pertaining to meagre pension being given to District Judges, and asked the Centre to resolve these at the earliest. Some of these are “extremely hard cases”, the CJI said and referred to a case of a District Judge, who was suffering from cancer, and said that several petitions are being filed by District Judges in the top court raising pension-related grievances. District Judges come to High Courts and generally they are elevated to HCs at the age of 56 and 57 years and they retire with pension of ₹30,000 per month,” the Bench also comprising justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said. The Supreme Court had said it was a matter of grave concern that though officers in other services have availed of a revision of their conditions of service as far back as on January 1, 2016, similar issues pertaining to the judicial officers are still awaiting a final decision eight years thereafter.
