“Recently, a petition regarding the pensions of politicians has been filed in the Supreme Court.”
What FACTLY found
The Supreme Court had previously dismissed a PIL on the same issue, affirming the legality of salaries, pensions, and other perks of MPs. In 2022, the Madhya Pradesh High Court also dismissed a PIL filed on the same issue. Since then, there have been no reports of any such petition being filed regarding the salaries or pensions of politicians in recent times.
