The Supreme Court directs all states and Union Territories to consider raising the retirement age of district judicial officers to 61 years. The order is issued while the court considers whether retirement age should be uniformly enhanced for district judiciary judges from 60 to 62 years across the country. The direction comes during the hearing of a petition seeking a common increase in retirement age for district court judges. A Bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana passes the instruction to the governments to take a position on the proposed change. The court asks each state and UT to consult its respective High Court before finalizing its stand. Governments are instructed to place their position on record within two weeks. The development reflects the court’s interim or related consideration of how retirement age adjustments could be implemented consistently across jurisdictions, while the broader question of moving to 62 years remains under consideration.
