New Delhi (23.07.2026): The Supreme Court of India on July 22, 2026 asked the states and union territories to consider raising the age of superannuation of judicial officers from 60 to 61 years. The SC passed the direction while hearing a petition seeking uniform enhancement of the retirement age of district judiciary judges from 60 to 62 years across the country. 
The provision will come into effect from April 1, 2026. While the retirement age of Supreme Court judges is 65, the high court judges superannuate at the age of 62 years. It also said that the interim arrangement would not prejudice the final adjudication on the substantive legal question of whether the retirement age of district judicial officers should be uniformly enhanced from 60 to 62 years throughout the country.
