In Brief
This case concerned the enforcement of allowances to retired Chief Justices and High Court Judges across Indian States. The Court reviewed compliance with an earlier order requiring all States to adopt the Andhra Pradesh Model, which provides Rs. 14,000 monthly to retired Chief Justices and Rs. 12,000 to retired Judges, plus free telephone services. Most States had complied by the hearing date; Jammu & Kashmir assured enhanced payments. The Court directed all States to adhere strictly to the model from October 2014 and pay all outstanding amounts promptly, reserving liberty to address future non-compliance.",
