SC directs States and UTs to consider enhancement of retirement age for Judicial Officers

The Supreme Court of India has directed all States and Union Territories to consider increasing the retirement age of Judicial Officers from 60 to 61 years. This directive was issued by a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, alongside Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, during the hearing of a petition advocating for a uniform retirement age for judicial personnel. This decision is significant as it aims to standardize the retirement age across the country, potentially impacting the judicial system's efficiency and continuity.
