Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of pension disparities between judges appointed directly from the Bar and those from the Judicial Services, emphasizing that the Constitution does not specify a quota for appointments. The Court noted the historical practice of appointing 66-2/3% from the Bar and 33-1/3% from Judicial Services, and highlighted the need for equitable pension treatment for Bar appointees. The matter is set for further orders after the summer vacation, indicating ongoing consideration of the issue.
