Shah's tragic non-elevation is certainly a loss to the institution of the Supreme Court and also the country.<br /><br />Shah's non-elevation was ironically good upto a point...after all it can be argued that CJ of Delhi HC is more powerful than a pusine judge of SC. But now situation is different as Shah has retired.<br /><br />Venkateshan's thought provoking post lists the options before the President. Lets hope good sense prevails.<br /><br />We should also ask why does a HC judge have to retire at the age of 62. If he is elevated to SC, does he suddenly get full of energy and he becomes fit to work till 65. Or does it mean that SC judges have less work, easier cases? I fail to understand any rationale for different retirement age. Can anyone explain it to me? If retirement age had been increased, then Justice Shah would have served for 3 more years.Pranav Sachdevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039589469816306633noreply@blogger.com
