HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN

UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R

In continuation of our earlier Orders, we have examined the charts submitted by learned Amicus Curiae on Allowances [like, Sumptuary allowance, Medical Allowance, Hill Area/Remote AreaAllowance, Robe Allowance and Domestic Help Allowance]. The chart indicates the burden on each of the States on account of the Allowances being sanctioned from 1st January, 2006. As far as pay scales are concerned, the States have agreed to implement the recommendations of Justice Padmanabhan Committee. The Allowances thereon constitute a miniscule amount, as indicated in the chart placed by learned Amicus Curiae.

In the circumstances, we hereby accept the Report of Justice Padmanabhan Committee in toto as far as Allowances are concerned. The arrears will be paid from 1st January, 2006. Many of the Statesappearing before us have also accepted the recommendations of Justice Padmanabhan Committee as far as Allowances are concerned. Accordingly, we direct the States to implement Justice PadmanabhanCommittee Report on the above Allowances with immediate effect. The arrears will be paid according to the formula suggested by justicePadmanabhan Committee. Accordingly, sixty per cent of the arrears will be paid within three months and remaining forty per cent will be paid within nine months thereafter.

O R D E R


I.A. No.244 in Writ Petition (C) No.1022 of 1989:
[In Re.: regarding allowances]

As record in the Order of this Court dated 4th May, 2010, most of the States have accepted the recommendations made by Justice Padmanabhan Committee regarding pay-scales. However, on the question of allowances incidental to the revised pay scales, some States have still not intimated their approval. We are required to examine this aspect. For this purpose, place the matter on 19 th July, 2010 at 2.00 p.m. separately.

In the meantime, each of the States, if so advised, will submit a short statement to Mr. A.T.M. Sampath, who is assisting learned amicus curiae, as to the reasons why they are opposing payment of allowances, particularly when the States have agreed to the recommendations of Justice Padmanabhan Committee on pay scales.

I.A. No.244 in Writ Petition (C) No.1022 of 1989:
[In Re.: regarding pension]

Place the matter on 26th July, 2010,
separately.
