No proposal to increase retirement age of SC, HC judges: Govt tells RS
high court judges, the government told the Rajya Sabha on Thursday. It also underlined that there is no mention of any «cooling off» period in the Constitution for post-retirement assignments for judges.
SC judges retire at the age of 65, while HC judges demit office at 62. District judges retire at the age of 60.
«There is no such proposal for increasing the retirement age of judges of the Supreme Court and high courts,» Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said.
The UPA 2 government had brought a constitutional amendment bill in the Lok Sabha to bring the retirement age of HC judges on par with that of SC judges. But the bill lapsed as it was not taken up for consideration in the House.
Asking a supplementary during Question Hour, AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chaddha said judges have been given executive and political roles post-retirement. While some come to Rajya Sabha as members, others become governors after retirement.
