Art. 130 · Part 11

Conditions of Service of CJ and Judges

सेवा शर्त
Original Text

The CJ and SC judges who serve 5+ years are entitled to pension. Remuneration cannot be altered to their disadvantage. Judges removed by impeachment or convicted of moral turpitude lose pension rights.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

SC judges get pension after 5 years of service, and crucially, their salary and benefits CANNOT be reduced while they\'re serving. This prevents governments from punishing independent judges financially. But if a judge is impeached or convicted of corruption, they lose everything — no pension, no gratuity.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

५ वर्ष सेवा पछि पेन्सन। तलब घटाउन नपाइने। भ्रष्टाचारमा दोषी ठहर भएमा पेन्सन गुम्छ।

✅ Strengths

Financial security lets judges rule without fear of government retaliation.

⚠️ Concerns

Generous post-retirement benefits have been criticized as excessive for a developing country.
