The National Judicial Pay Commission, which submitted its interim report to the Supreme Court last week, has recommended 30 per cent interim relief to the lower court judges, on the existing basic pay, from January 1, 2016. Judicial officers working in the Delhi State Judicial Services would not be entitled to the proposed relief as they were already drawing salaries as per  scales recommended by the 7th Pay Commission.
