The Supreme Court Monday refused to entertain a plea seeking uniform retirement age for judges of the apex court and the high courts.
At present, the retirement age for the Supreme Court judges is 65 years whereas for the high court judges, it is 62 years.
A bench comprising Chief Justice S A Bobde and Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian observed that the petitioner can make a representation to the government on the issue.
Petitioner Ashwini Upadhyay, an advocate and BJP leader, argued that different age of retirements for judges of the high courts and the top court is irrational.
