DA/DR must follow 6th Pay Commission’s central pattern; age-tiered liquidation scheme struck down as violative of Article 14 | Punjab HC

Punjab High Court ordered the state to implement the 6th Pay Commission’s dearness allowance and dearness relief on the central pattern and declared the age-tiered liquidation plan unconstitutional under Article 14, directing immediate payment of all arrears with interest. The ruling affects all Punjab government employees awaiting these allowances.
