Immediate ordinance needed on retirement age of judges
Union government should immediately propagate an ordinance increasing the retirement-age of High court Judges to 65 years.
UNION GOVERNMENT should immediately propagate an ordinance raising retirement-age of High court Judges to 65 years to effectively check injustice happening to a deserving Chief Justice of Delhi AP Shah. Justice Shah, who is to retire on 12.02.2010, was superseded in his elevation to Supreme Court despite intervention by Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and repeated voice raised by eminent jurists and the civil-society, expressed through media also. The step will make the nation attain the services of a distinguished judge like AP Shah for three more years at least, at the High Court level.
Already Union Ministry for Law & Justice has suggested increasing the retirement-age of High Court Judges from present 62 years to 65 years to make it at par with that of Supreme Court judges. Suggested ordinance will effectively check a normal human desire of Chief Justices of High Courts to be elevated to Supreme Court. Appointing-system of Supreme Court judges will then be relieved of any possible push for being elevated as Supreme Court judge.

Strongly oppose to the raising of the retirement age of judges. Age factor to be decided not comparing the judges of UK, US etc. but with those of the populated countries like China, Pakistan, Sri lanka, Bangladesh etc. If so the promotions of the following them in hierarchy will be blocked. Those will be morally affected, besides the health conditions i.e. BP diabetics etc. owing to the ageing factor leads to varying changes in mindset, will lead to wrong judgements.
An Ex-serviceman's hard-earned landed property grabbed in Bangalore and the ex-serviceman facing harassment and humiliation attending courts at Bangalore City Civil Court, being shunted Chennai to Bangalore and back, incurring further money and falling into debts and loss of time and efforts, praying to god sending petitions to the Honourable President of India, PM of India, CJI of the Supreme Court of India, CJI of the Karnataka High Court etc. All in vain. Sanctity of courts? COURT??????S Poor performance ?????? efficiency with loopholes to favour the accused party, who can influence.
Besides though Indians retire at 55, 58, or 60 years in the Indian employment the Courts consider 65 years as the age for senior citizen since judges retire at that age though they retire from 58 years and only the Railways consider 60 years as the age of the senior citizen. While the Indian Constitution assures equality of status and opportunity to its citizens without any discrimination and JUSTICE in social, economic and political enshrined in the constitution. In practical sense the non-political innocent citizen suffers. The lower Retirement age decided be considered as the senior citizen??????s age .

A service judge is not elegible to be considered for elevation to HC if he/she has crossed the age of 581/2 there is no justification to increse the age of retirement from 62 to 65
