HC refuses extension of service for retired judge

08/08/2019, LEGAL CORRESPONDENT,CHENNAI

The Madras High Court has dismissed a writ petition filed by a retired district judge to permit him to continue in service for two more years on the basis of a decision taken by the administrative committee (top seven judges) of the court in May last year to grant him an extension of service.

Justices R. Subbiah and C. Saravanan rejected the plea of the retired judge S. Natarajan after pointing out that the administrative committee had granted extension of service subject to approval of its decision by the Full Court (all judges). However, the latter had, in December last, decided not to grant such extension. In the meantime, the petitioner had continued to be in service for about eight months despite having attained superannuation.
