Priority hearing of the senior citizen in district courts.

The Chief Justice and Judges have now directed that precedence be given by courts for hearing and final disposal of the cases wherein one of the parties has attained the age of sixty years and above,” it says. This circular replaces a circular issued in 1999, whereby precedence was to be given to persons above 65.

The Chief Justice of India has addressed the Chief Justices of all the High Courts advising them to identify and dispose of cases on priority basis in which persons above 65 years of age are involved. These include long pending cases of senior citizens, pensioners and retired Government servants on a priority basis.
