All these 25 officers, however, will continue on the posts they are currently holding, the order said.
Meanwhile, the State government has amended its universal health insurance scheme to extend its benefits to retired justices of the Bombay High Court residing in the State.
Retired Judges of the High Court of Bombay at Goa presently residing in the State of Goa are also entitled to claim the benefits under the Scheme in addition to the facilities available to them under section 23D-Medical facilities for retired Judges of the High Court Judges (Salaries and Conditions of Service) Act, 1954,” said a notification issued by Under Secretary (Healh) Maria Seomara De Souza.
The notification is issued after the Supreme Court recently pulled up States, including Goa, with regard to healthcare facilities extended to retired High Court judges.
