The petition, filed by retired judge of the Allahabad High Court Justice Alok Kumar Mukherjee, challenges certain provisions of the High Court Judges (Salaries and Conditions of Services) Act, 1954. It has termed the provisions relating to computation of pension as “discriminatory” and violative of Fundamental Rights.
Argued by Advocate Manoj Goel, the petition came up for hearing before the Bench of Justice SA Bobde and Justice L Nageswara Rao.
