Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's directive to the State to provide a dress allowance of Rs.8,500/- and a monthly maintenance allowance of Rs.300/- to Judicial Officers, citing Article 235 and Article 309 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that while the High Court has control over District Courts, the determination of allowances falls under the legislative domain. The judgment clarified that the State must consider periodic revisions of these allowances to account for inflation.
