Deputy Chief Justice Kalpana Rawal will now proceed on retirement after the Court of Appeal on Friday ruled that all judges must retire at 70.
The ruling leaves in limbo the tribunal investigating bribery allegations against suspended judge Philip Tunoi.
Justice Tunoi and Deputy Chief Justice Kalpana Rawal had filed suits contesting the decision of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to retire them on attaining the age of 70.
They had argued that their retirement age should be 74 years.
