"Discriminatory": Patna HC Sets Aside State's Move Fixing One Increment Per Year For Judicial Officers While Allowing Two Increments For Other Govt Employees

Live Law  

The Patna High Court on Wednesday set aside a notification by the Bihar Government which allegedly discriminated amongst State Government employees and Judicial Officers concerning the date of grant of increment after promotion/appointment/financial degradation. The Court, however, said that Judicial Officers of the State would be entitled to receive the increment on two dates in a year instead of one, like other government employees in the state. The petitioner's case was that by subsequent notification, the State Government had limited the date of increment for the judicial officers to one date instead of two dates as made applicable to both state government employees and judicial officers. Accordingly, the court struck down the modification made by the State Government and held that the judicial officers would be entitled to receive the increments on two dates instead of one date.
