NEW DELHI: On Tuesday (21st Jan), the Supreme Court directed all high courts to expedite the formation of two-judge panels to address the grievances of district judicial officers regarding the implementation of the Second National Judicial Pay Commission (SNJPC) recommendations.
The Supreme Court today summoned chief and finance secretaries of 16 states for failing to implement pension and retirement benefit recommendations for judicial officers. The court emphasized the necessity of their personal presence to facilitate the submission of affidavits and warned of potential contempt proceedings for non-compliance. August 23 is set for a hearing on this matter, with no further extensions granted.
