Delhi HC refuses to stay functioning of Seventh Pay Commission
MAY 7, 2014
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday declined to stay the functioning of the Seventh Pay Commission while hearing a plea that challenged a notification on inclusion of a former IAS officer as a member of the panel.
Justice Sudershan Kumar Misra also issued notice to the central government on the plea filed by retired members of the all India Services, central civil services and armed forces against the government's February 28 notification constituting the commission.
The petitioners argued that inclusion of a former Indian Administrative Service officer, Vivek Rae, in the four-member commission give rise to a "real likelihood of bias" on his part to give a favourable recommendation to the IAS.
The petition said: "The impugned resolution, by retaining the practice of including a member of the IAS as a member of the commission has given rise to a real likelihood of bias on the part of such member in favour of maintaining the status quo, under which the IAS enjoys a position of special privilege in respect of pay fixation."
Rae has a directed pecuniary interest in the recommendations of the commission, as it would also determine his pension and retirement benefits, alleged the plea.
The petitioners further questioned the practice of previous pay commissions providing an "edge" in pay scales to members of the IAS over other members of the AIS and other central civil services including India Forest Services (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Revenue Service (IRS), and all other group A central services.
"Past report of the commission rise to a reasonable apprehension that the reason for the repeated rejection of the demands for parity of other services in the AIS with the IAS is attributable to the fact that the commission has always comprised of a member of the IAS," the petition submitted.
Central government counsel, however, argued the commission was not a "one-man show" and that it recommendations inturn have to go through scrutiny of the government and Rae was included in the commission because of his wide experience in the field.
Former Supreme Court judge Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur is the chairman of the commission and former petroleum and natural gas secretary Rae, National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) Rathin Roy, OSD in finance ministry's expenditure department Meena Agarwal are the members.

HSG-I OFFICIATING PERIOD SHOULD BE COUNTED FOR PAY FIXATION & PENSIONARY BENEFITS
ONE MORE JUDGEMENT FROM CAT CHENNAI.. APPEAL FILED BY DEPARTMENT DISMISSED BY MADRAS HIGH COURT.
RESOLUTION
ADOPTED BY THE 28TH CIRCLE CONFERENCE OF AIPEU GROUP ‘C’ KARNATAKA
CIRCLE HELD AT BANGALORE FROM 01.04.2014 TO 03.04.2014.
This 28th
Circle Conference of AIPEU Group ‘C’, Karnataka Circle, Resolves as follows
The Federal Council meeting of NFPE
which is the highest decision making body of NFPE held at Hyderabad in June
2013 had taken a decision to grant Associate Membership to the newly formed All
India Postal Employees Union – GDS (NFPE) and also has decided to form
Divisional/Circle Branches of the new GDS Union in all Circles and also given a
call to all affiliates of NFPE to extend full support and cooperation to the
new GDS Union.
The All India Conference of AIPEU
Group ‘C’ which is the highest decision making body of AIPEU Group ‘C’, held at
Thiruvananthapuram had taken a similar decision as above and had called upon
all Branch/Divisional and Circle unions to extend full support and cooperation
to the newly formed AIPEU-GDS (NFPE).
Unfortunately, in Karnataka
Circle, the Circle Union could not take a decision to implement the above
decisions of NFPE and AIPEU Group ‘C’ (CHQ), for various reasons.
As the earlier GDS Union AIPEDEU
(now called as AIGDSU) has no connection with NFPE, the newly formed AIPEU-GDS
(NFPE) is the only GDS Union which stands solidly with NFPE and implements all
the decisions of NFPE including strike.
Taking into consideration the
above facts and circumstances, this 28th Circle Conference of AIPEU
Group ‘C’, Karnataka Circle hereby unanimously resolves to implement the above
decisions of NFPE and AIPEU Group ‘C’ (CHQ) in Karnataka Circle in letter and
spirit and to extend full support and cooperation to the newly formed AIPEU-GDS
(NFPE). This Circle conference further decides to end the confrontative
attitude of the Circle Union with NFPE & P3 CHQ, regarding GDS Union and
shall go by the decision of NFPE and AIPEU Group ‘C’ (CHQ).
