While hearing one of the pleas in the matter last month, the apex court had expressed “shock” that some retired high court judges were getting a meagre pension ranging between Rs 6,000 and Rs 15,000.The bench was hearing a petition filed by a retired high court judge who said he was receiving a pension of Rs 15,000.The petitioner, who was elevated as a judge of the Allahabad High Court after serving as a judicial officer in the district court for 13 years, had claimed that the authorities had refused to consider his judicial service while computing the pension.”If there are retired high court judges before us who are getting Rs 6,000 and Rs 15,000 as pension, it is shocking.How can that be?” the bench had remarked while hearing the plea.
