A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices Deepak Verma and B S Chauhan said state governments would give salary as per the recommendations of the Justice Padmanabhan committee.
The new pay scale that could treble their salaries translating into a monthly increase of Rs 20,000 at the entry level.
All India Judges Association (AIJA) had approached the apex court seeking implementation of the recommendation of the Committee contending that there has been a wide disparity between the salary of judicial officers and other government employees.
