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.
