Supreme Court Directs Centre to Form Panel on Uniform Post-Retirement Benefits for Ex-Judges
The Supreme Court has directed the Centre to form a panel within two weeks to develop a uniform national policy on post-retirement benefits for former high court judges, including services like drivers, security, and government accommodations during travel. The court noted significant disparities in benefits across states and asked the panel to submit its report within three months. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta agreed to the committee's formation during a hearing on a contempt petition filed by Justice VS Dave regarding retired judges' facilities.
