A contempt of court notice was issued last week (October 19) to the secretary and other senior officials of the state public health department and commissioner, sales tax, for not adhering to orders of the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (MAT), dated July 5, directing the departments concerned to make payment of arrears within three months (from the date of order) and also ensure that revised pension is paid accordingly to the litigants.
mid-day in its article ‘Govt should issue a GR, say litigants after MAT ruled in their favour’, dated July 28, highlighted the litigants’ stand that the state’s directive is required so that other employees who retire a day before their increment do not have to go to courts for benefits. As many as 30 retired state government officials, who were deprived of their annual increment as they retired just a day before the increment was to be enforced, i.e. July 1, got a major relief from the MAT, which ruled that the exchequer should have considered their annual increment figures while calculating their retirement benefits.
