COMMENTS
Who dared to issue fake orders on notional increment to pensioners retired on 30th June after rendering twelve months service entitled to them for notional increment for pensionary benefits. The Dopt despite of Supreme Court verdicts dated 11.04.2023 & 17.05.3023 have not yet issued any general orders on the subject & unnecessarily delaying the matter causing undue hardships to those who have not gone to the court of law & waiting for Dopt,s final orders in compliance with the Apex Court verdict. This unnecessary delay gives rise further confusion & ambiguity in the matter which already stands settled in law. This is very unfortunate on the part The Central government which still do not want to give justice & fair play in the matter.
The Delhi CAT already passed notional increment in favour of pensioner who retired on 30th jun and no need to file case individual in this case.Raikway board/DoPT comes under Delhi CAT jurisdiction. Hence my request to follow the instruction and issue order in pensioner – With regards
