Therefore, the Court directed the Delhi government to constitute high powered committees (HPC) to supervise the implementation of the recommendations and guidelines prescribed by the sixth and the seventh pay commissions.
The HPC will be constituted at the State and the central levels. The central committee will be headed by the Delhi’s Education Secretary and will also have one representative of the schools among its members.
Zonal committee will be headed by Zonal Education Officer and will deal with the issue of fee hike, salaries, and other benefits. This committee will recommend its findings to the Central committee.
“[Central committee] after receiving the recommendations of the Zonal level Committee shall decide the issue recommended to it, expeditiously, preferably within six weeks from the date of receiving the said recommendation,” the Court said.
The Delhi government was directed to issue a notification within two weeks for convening zonal committees so that various stakeholders including teaching and non-teaching staff of several schools, who are aggrieved by the non-implementation of the pay commission, shall file their claims.
