Vakil Help Desk News: the Orissa High Court has held that a High Court judge who is transferred may opt to receive retirement benefits from the parent High Court to which the judge originally belonged.
Vakil Help Desk News, Litigation & Courts. In a service and pension matter, the Orissa High Court has held that a High Court judge who is transferred from one High Court to another may opt to take retirement benefits from the parent High Court — the court to which the judge originally belonged.
The principle, in plain words
When a judge serves in more than one High Court over a career, a question can arise about which establishment settles the retiral benefits. The Court recognised the judge's option to have those benefits processed through the parent High Court, giving a clear answer to a narrow but practical service-law question.
