  • Salary of the judges is a charged expenditure on consolidated fund of India. It cannot be alter to the disadvantage during the tenure. Salaries and allowances are not subjected to the approval of the judges.
  • Legislature is not involved in the appointment of the judges. Political opinions of the person is not the criteria for the appointment of the judges.
