Supreme Court says re-employed officers may be treated separately from regular ones

The case concerns a writ petition filed by two Presiding Officers of Central Government Industrial Tribunals (CGIT-cum-LCs) seeking the implementation of 6th Pay Commission recommendations for their pay scales, arguing they were treated unequally compared to other tribunals and the District Judiciary.

Petitioners: R.K. Yadav & Anr.; Respondents: Union of India and others; Bench: Justice N.V. Anjaria.

• The Court examined the petitioners' claim that they were arbitrarily grouped with the District Judiciary instead of other tribunals for pay scale purposes.
• The Court noted the petitioners were appointed on a re-employment basis after deputation.
• The Court reviewed the chronological implementation of pay scales, including the Justice E. Padmanabhan Committee recommendations and subsequent notifications up to 2020.
• The Court considered the respondents' contention that re-employed pensioners are restricted to the prescribed scales of the post in which they are re-employed under the Central Civil Services (Fixation of pay of Re-employed Pensioners) Orders, 1986.
