New Delhi, March 17 : In the backdrop of a large number of vacancies of judges in High Courts and pendency of cases, a parliamentary panel has recommended raising the age of retirement of judges from 62 years to 65 years for uniformity in the Supreme Court and High Courts. The Members of the Committee expressed that there is a need to revisit the age of retirement of High Court judges to compensate for the large number of vacancies existing in High Courts, said the department-related standing committee on personnel, public grievances and law and justice, in its report on demands for grants for the law ministry, which was tabled in Parliament on Tuesday.

The coronavirus-induced lockdown led to a spurt in cases of domestic violence and trafficking, said a Parliamentary panel in its report, tabled on Monday. The report by Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, which is headed by Congress Rajya Sabha MP Anand Sharma, recommended that cash transfers and moratorium on loan repayments be continued to empower women, reported
The Indian Express.
“The Committee notes that there was a sudden spurt in domestic violence and trafficking of women and children during the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic outbreak,” said the report. “This was mainly due to disruption in economic activities, work from home and family spending more time at home during lockdowns. The female migrant workers and their children were trafficked and had gone missing during lockdowns.”
