MDHIAN

INSPECTOR, SUPERINTENDENT AND SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT. THERE IS NO INTENTION OF APPLYING THE LIMITED' COMPENSATION SCHEME AT THIS

LEVEL AND THERE IS NO REASON TO DO SO.

4. ORIGINALLY WE HAD INTENDED TO APPLY THE LIMITED COMPENSATION SCHEME. WITH MODIFIED AGE RELATED FACTORS, TO THE JUDICIARY. HOWEVER THE JUDICIARY OBJECTED SAYING THAT THERE WAS NO REASON TO DO SO AS THERE ARE AT MOST TWO POSTS INVOLVED, SENIOR JUDICIAL OFFICES ARE APPOINTMENTS RATHER THAN PROMOTIONS, AND SUCH A COURSE OF ACTION WOULD BE INTERPRETED BADLY IN THE LEGAL SECTOR. ON CLOSER EXAMINATION THERE MAY BE NO NEED FOR A JUDICIAL LIMITED COMPENSATION SCHEME. HOWEVER, SHOULD IT PROVE NECESSARY A LIMITED COMPENSATION SCHEME COULD BE INTRODUCED EASILY AND QUICKLY.
