The Supreme Court on Monday expressed satisfaction that as many as 14 states have agreed to raise the retirement age of district judicial officers from 60 to 62 years and refused to list for urgent hearing the separate pleas of judges who are on the verge of retiring or have just retired.
"This pertains to the persuasive jurisdiction of this court. The issue is between the Supreme Court and the states," a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said while declining to list individual pleas of judges who have to demit office after reaching the age of 60 years.
The CJI said that so far 14 states have agreed to raise the retirement age to 62 years and "we are hopeful that others will also follow." The bench said though it has listed the petition for hearing, it did not approve the moving of individual pleas by judicial officers.
Senior advocate Ranjit Kumar mentioned the plea for listing saying that judicial officers are retiring every day.

The reserves touched an all-time high of USD 785.706 billion for the week ended September 4, driven by heavy greenback inflow as part of a special concessional swap for deposits from the diaspora through which banks raised a record nearly USD 133 billion but have been on a declining trend ever since.
Experts attribute the sharp decline in the kitty to deployment of FCNR(B) resources and currency defence put up by the RBI through dollar sales.
For the week ended October 16, foreign currency assets, a major component of reserves, decreased by USD 5.758 billion to USD 591.847 billion, according to the data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Expressed in dollar terms, the foreign currency assets include effects of appreciation or ..
