It’s Shocking”: Supreme Court On ₹ 15,000 Pension For Ex-High Court Judge
New Delhi:
The Supreme Court on Thursday expressed “shock” over some retired high court judges getting a meagre pension ranging between ₹ 6,000 and ₹ 15,000.
A bench of Justices B R Gavai, P K Mishra and K V Viswanathan was hearing a petition filed by a retired high court judge who said he was receiving a mere ₹ 15,000 pension.
The petitioner, who was elevated as a judge of the Allahabad High Court after serving as a judicial officer in the district court for 13 years, claimed that the authorities had refused to consider his judicial service while computing the pension.
