CJI Says Bar Associations Blocked Temporary Reappointment of Retired Judges
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant stated that bar associations opposed the Supreme Court's effort to temporarily reappoint retired high court judges to address case backlogs, causing the initiative to stall. The practice, allowed under Article 224A of the Constitution, was revived by previous benches but faced resistance through bar resolutions. The CJI also highlighted concerns over pension rules leading to resignations of judicial officers in Haryana and Punjab after several years of service.
