#Arrears of Salary

Himachal Pradesh HC holds that re-employed retirees are entitled to arrears based on retrospective pay revisions, even if re-employed on 'last pay drawn' terms, as long as the salary structure was revisionable. The ruling clarifies that pay revisions apply retrospectively to re-employment periods, ensuring government employees receive due arrears.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that granting notional promotion without arrears of salary, when the delay is due to administrative lapses, amounts to a violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. Employees are entitled to full arrears from the date of eligibility, not merely from the date of the court order. This sets a precedent for holding employers accountable for procedural delays in promotions.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that daily wage workers classified under government pay scales are entitled only to the scale of their categorized post, not the minimum of the post they performed.
