SC rules judicial officers are not govt employees, can have different retirement age
The Supreme Court has stated that judicial officers form a unique and separate category, distinct from government employees, while reviewing a plan to raise the retirement age for district judges from 60 to 62. The court noted that keeping veteran judges on the bench reduces financial costs, dismissing claims from states that judges should be treated the same as executive staff. The states have been directed to reconsider the proposal within two weeks.
