Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Response on Petition for Judicial Pay Commission
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Centre on a petition by the Maharashtra State Judges' Association seeking the immediate constitution of a National Judicial Pay Commission (NJPC). The NJPC would review and recommend pay, allowances, service conditions, pensions, and post-retirement benefits for judges across all courts in India. The association requests the NJPC to submit its report within 18 months and for periodic revisions every 10 years, with interim adjustments linked to central government dearness allowance. The petition challenges the inclusion of subordinate judicial officers in union territories under the 8th Central Pay Commission, citing a 1993 Supreme Court directive for an independent judicial pay commission.
