JAMMU, Feb 18: In a petition filed by the employees borne on the cadre of Subordinate Courts through JEWA State President Mangat Ram Parihar & Ors seeking implementation of Shetty Commission Report, a Division Bench of J&K High Court Jammu Wing Comprising Chief Justice Pankaj Mithal and Justice Javed Iqbal Wani directed Chief Secretary, BVR Subrahmanyam ; Law Secretary, Achal Sethi; and Principal Secretary, Finance, Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta to file Action Taken Report failing which they have to appear in person.
DB after perusal of the record reveals that the basic purpose of filing this petition is for the implementation of the recommendations of Shetty Pay Commission w.e.f 01.04.2003 as has also been directed by the Supreme Court vide Judgment/Order dated 07.10.2009 passed in the writ petition India Judges' Association and others v. Union of India and others.
DB further observed that the court vide order dated 28.09.2020 has directed for incorporating the Chief Secretary, BVR Subrahmanyam ; Law Secretary, Achal Sethi; and Principal Secretary, Finance, Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta as respondents, probably in the proceedings for the contempt initiated for disobedience of the orders of the High Court passed in this petition from time to time.
However, neither the Registrar General nor the above officers have cared to file any further report before this Court after the said order or the filing of the affidavit by Sh. Pranav Kohli so as to come out with the case that the short comings pointed out have been removed and the report of the Shetty Commission has been implemented in full.
In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, Division Benh observed that in the interest of justice, as a last opportunity, we allow all these officers to respond to the affidavit dated 18.02.2020 of Mangat Ram Parihar filed by Amicus Curiae and to inform the court if any action so as to remove the shortcomings pointed out therein have been taken or the time within which they are proposed to be removed.
DB further ordered that in case, such an action taken report is not filed within a period of one month from today, all the above officers would remain present before the court on the next date i.e. on 18th March 2021.
