Explanation using Example
Example 1:
Justice Rao has been appointed as a Judge of the High Court of Karnataka. According to Article 221 of the Constitution of India, his salary is determined by a law passed by the Parliament. Until such a law is enacted, his salary is specified in the Second Schedule of the Constitution. Justice Rao is also entitled to allowances, leave of absence, and pension benefits as determined by Parliament. Importantly, once Justice Rao is appointed, his allowances, leave, or pension benefits cannot be reduced to his disadvantage.
Example 2:
Justice Mehta, a sitting Judge of the High Court of Delhi, is planning to take a sabbatical for health reasons. Under Article 221, he is entitled to leave of absence as determined by the law made by Parliament. If Parliament has not made specific provisions, the Second Schedule of the Constitution will apply. Justice Mehta's leave benefits, as well as his pension rights, cannot be altered to his disadvantage after his appointment. This ensures that Justice Mehta can take his leave without worrying about any reduction in his benefits.
