Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the services rendered by Fast Track Court Judges are to be counted for pensionary and other benefits when they subsequently join the regular judicial service. This decision was based on the interpretation of the Fast Track Courts Scheme and the constitutional provisions under Article 275, which mandates the establishment of such courts. The Court emphasized the importance of recognizing the contributions of these judges to ensure their rights are protected, thereby holding that their prior service is valid for benefits.
