BEFORE

HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUMAN SHYAM

ORDER

Date: 04/01/2021

Heard Mr. M. Nath, learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner.

Assailing the office memorandum dated 19/11/2020 issued by the respondent no.2, suspending payment of Dearness Allowance for the periods mentioned therein, the present petition has been filed.

Mr. Nath submits that his clients are entitled to Performance Related Pay (PRP). Therefore, the impugned order is wholly arbitrary and illegal. That apart, by referring to the order dated 26/11/2020 (Annexure-7A), Mr. Nath submits that there is a move afoot to make recovery from the members of the petitioner association on the strength of the impugned notification dated 19/11/2020.

Mr. C.K.S. Baruah, learned CGC, appearing for the respondents has obtained instruction and submits that there is a policy decision of the Government of India preceeding the impugned notification. The learned CGC has, however, denied that there is a proposal for recovery from the employees.

Having heard the submission of learned counsel for both the parties, I am of the view that this matter would call for further examination.

Issue notice of motion returnable in six weeks.

Since the respondents are already represented by Mr. Baruah, no formal notice is required to be sent in this case. However, extra copies of the writ petition, requisite in numbers, be furnished to the learned departmental counsel within three days, so as to enable him to obtain instruction and file affidavit.

Heard on the prayer of interim relief.

The said prayer will be considered after the affidavits are brought on record. However, as a ad-interim measure, it is hereby provided that no recovery shall be made by the respondent no. 2 from the members of the petitioner association until the returnable date.

List this case again after six weeks…
