Supreme Court Addresses Pension Concerns for Retired High Court Judges
Grave Concerns Over Pension Sufficiency
The Supreme Court has expressed grave concerns regarding the inadequate pension received by retired High Court judges who previously served in the district judiciary. Currently, these judges receive pensions between ₹15,000 to ₹25,000, which many find insufficient for their basic living expenses.
Call for Urgent Reform
- The Chief Justice of India (CJI) has emphasized the need for a resolution.
- Judges face financial instability due to inadequate pension amounts.
Conclusion
The issues surrounding judges' pensions reflect a broader need for judiciary reform. Addressing this challenge is not just a matter of financial necessity but also a question of honor and respect for those who served the nation in a judicial capacity.
