Rank Pay Anomaly Case:Latest Update

AS ON 18 OCT 2010
The case was heard on 18 Oct 2010 in the court of Justice MK Katju & Justice Thakur. As of date Justice MK Katju was not inclined to recall/review his order on the petition filed by the UOI. On the contrary Justice Katju admonished the Solicitor General for taking unnecessary extension of time limit and the attitude shown by the Govt in resolving anomalies pertaining to pay & allces of armed forces personnel. He wanted defenite inputs from the GOVT on the formation of seperate pay commission for the armed forces to be headed by a retired judge of the Supreme Court with members from the serving as well as the veterans so that issues/anomalies could be resolved expeditiously.
He gave UOI time limit till 08 Nov 10 which has been fixed as the next date of hearing. In all probability the case would be disposed off that day

IV Pay Commission Rank Pay Anomaly Case

The case 56/2007(Transfer Petition civil) was heard on 04 Jan 10 in the court of Justice MK Katju & Justice RM Lodha (Court no 8). We had hired Sr Advocate U Lalit to represent us. Justice Katju wanted to dismiss the case without hearing us.Our Advocate held his ground that the case can be disposed off only after hearing us. Although Justice Lodha was keen to hear the case, Justice Katju was in no mood. The Govt counsel represented by Addl Attorney General Mr Kaushik then drew the attention of the court to a similar WP 96/2009 to which justice Katju ordered that this case be tagged with 96/2009.

The WP 96/2009 was listed in the court of the Registrar on 08 Jan 10 for completion of service.The court ordered that the matter be listed for hearing.
In view of the new development the case may take little longer than anticipated.Further action being taken to progress the case.
