Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 11: In a petition filed by Joginder Singh, bench secretary of High Court regarding dearth of staff at various level (i.e.) High Court and District Courts, pay anomaly in respect of officers and staff and promotional avenues to Law Graduate Readers of the High Court, a division bench of High Court comprising Chief Justice Pankaj Mithal and Justice Mohan Lal directed AAG Aseem Sawhney to convene a meeting of the Chief Secretary of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, Law Secretary and the Registrar General and to ensure that the issues raised in this petition are taken up, discussed and, if possible, resolved therein.
The DB said that the meeting should be held most expeditiously within a month and a report thereof be submitted before this court. Today when the petition came-up for hearing, DB observed that the petitioners are bench secretaries working in the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. They have preferred this petition seeking certain reliefs, one of which is to accord approval to the resolution adopted on 13-15 September 2002 in the Chief Justices' Conference thereby enhancing the salary and perks of the High Court Staff. One of the other reliefs is for the hike of salary of the High Court Staff by 20 percent.
The third relief is for a direction to grant retrospective effect to SRO 386 dated 01-12-2008. Lastly, a prayer has been made for the grant of ACP in view of the resolution of the full court dated 26-11-2014 and sanction/creation of six posts of Additional Registrars in view of the judgment of the Supreme Court passed in A R Zakki's case.
The DB observed that the Court on earlier occasions had directed for convening of the meeting of the Chief Secretary of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, Law Secretary and the Registrar General for resolving the above disputes and it is alleged that though one meeting was conducted, as directed but in the said meeting only the implementation of the Shetty Commission Report was considered and there was no discussion with regard to the reliefs claimed in the present petition. |
