Article 125 of CoI : Article 125: Salaries, Etc. Of Judges

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a new judge is appointed to the Supreme Court of India. According to Article 125 of the Constitution, the judge's salary will be as per the law determined by Parliament. However, if Parliament has not yet set this salary, the judge will receive the salary listed in the Second Schedule of the Constitution.

Furthermore, the judge is entitled to certain allowances, privileges, and pension rights. Suppose Parliament enacts a new law that changes these benefits. In that case, the judge's benefits cannot be reduced because Article 125 protects them from being disadvantaged after their appointment. So, if the judge was entitled to a certain pension amount at the time of appointment, the new law cannot decrease it.
