The Law Ministry also told the Lok Sabha in a written reply that such appointments take place in a decentralised manner and, therefore, the information as sought is not maintained centrally.

Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal was responding to a question on the total number of post-retirement positions offered to judges across the country during the last 10 years as also the criteria and the process followed for the selection and appointment of such persons.

Recently, the parliamentary committee on law and personnel had decided to examine the issue of post-retirement assignments for the judges of the Supreme Court and high courts. PTI NAB AS AS
