The Chief Secretary, who was present in person during the last hearing, was informed that the High Court had recommended specific pay scales for High Court employees across various cadres.
This recommendation has been pending with the State government for almost ten years, awaiting approval and notification by the Governor.
“What is disturbing in this case is that the State Government is indulging in procrastination for reasons attributed to the State Government in a situation where the Chief Justice exercising powers under Article 229(2) of the Constitution recommended revised pay-scales for employees of the High Court after assessing requirement of number of posts and nature of duties attached to each post in the establishment of High Court,” the order stated.
