Supreme Court Notes 14 States Agree to Raise Judicial Officers' Retirement Age to 62
The Supreme Court expressed satisfaction that 14 states have agreed to raise the retirement age of district judicial officers from 60 to 62 years. The court declined urgent hearings on individual pleas from judges nearing or past retirement, emphasizing that the issue involves the court's persuasive jurisdiction with the states. The bench directed states to amend service rules accordingly and allow judges who retired on or after March 31 to rejoin judicial service, subject to suitability assessments by high courts. The court hopes more states will follow this move.
