Some Retire From District Judiciary With A Monthly Pension Of Only Rs.15K' : Supreme Court Expresses Concerns To Union

The Supreme Court expressed concern over the low pensions received by some retired district judges, with some receiving as little as Rs 15,000 per month. The court noted that such low pensions are inadequate for a dignified post-retirement life and urged the Union Government to take appropriate measures to address this issue. The court highlighted the need for better financial security for retired judges, considering their years of service and the rising cost of living. This ruling could lead to reforms in the pension system for the judiciary, ensuring better financial support for retired judges.
