A bench comprising Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra is scheduled to hear the case on Tuesday, following a petition from the All India Judges Association along with 22 other similar petitions. The petitioners are seeking the implementation of welfare measures and other benefits for former judges and judicial officers.
The Supreme Court had previously summoned top bureaucrats from several states, including Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Bihar, Haryana, and Odisha, to appear before it.
