NEW DELHI, July 11, 2024 (TBINN)
Supreme Court today summoned Chief and Finance secretaries of 16 states for non-compliance of Second National Judicial Pay Commission recommendations on the payment of arrears of pension and other retirement benefits to the judicial officers.
Expressing strong displeasure over non-compliance of S.N.J.P.C.’s recommendations, a bench of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said, “We know how to extract compliance now. If we just say that the Chief Secretary will be present if the affidavit is not filed then it will not be filed.
“We are not sending them to jail but let them be here and then an affidavit will be submitted. Let they be personally present now,” the bench said.
