D.A . CASE IN HIGH CALCUTTA COURT OF AND LAWYERS’ FAULTY ARGUMENTS IN FAVOUR OF PETITIONERS—————————
Learned lawyers of the petitioners in the matter of DA case in the High Court of Calcutta are moving the suit to achieve political propaganda and gain setting aside the main question—–WHETHER D A DONATION / GIFT OR DEMAND / RIGHT—
One learned lawyer time and again is arguing that the State government is bound to give DA to its employees as it decided to give the same by 2009 ROPA RULE framed under Article 309 only to highlight the humanitarian character of past Left Front Government . If that is the logic — then the question immediately arises —if present government disagrees to give DA in the forthcoming ROPA rule 2016 after the pending Pay Commission will be submitted then will the State Government Employees be under compulsion to agree with this Government decision ? According to the Lawyers’ move it appears that whether Govt will enforce ROPA rule denying D.A TO ITS EMPLOYEES IS TOTALLY GOVERNMENT’S CHOICE.
ALL THESE WEAK LOGIC ARE BEING ADVOCATED TO HIGHLIGHT PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT’S ROPA 2009 RULE.——————–BUT THE MAIN ARGUMENT SHOULD RUN WITH THE FOLLOWING LOGIC——
1.State is a model employer —so citing private organisation’s stand as regards Pay structure and D.A is not examples to be followed by State
2. CAN A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE TAKE DONATION / GIFT OR DOES GOVERNMENT HAVE THE RIGHT TO GIVE DONATION OR GIFT TO ITS EMPLOYEES OUTSIDE WAGE !! DOES A GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGE TAKING DONATION OR GIFT ???
3. D.A is due to compensation of decayed WAGE determined by PRICE INDEX and wage can not be curtailed .
4.Price index as announced by Central Government is to be accepted by all State Government as State Government can never determine its own state wise price index.
5. If state government refuses to implement compensation of decayed wages in the form of D.A. to its employees then Artile 14 —i.e, equality of all government employee is violated .
WITHOUT THIS EQUALITY HOW WOULD YOU JUSTIFY YOUR DEMAND
? BUT FOR NARROW POLITICAL PURPOSES LAWYERS ARE DELIBERATELY BYPASSING THIS LINE OF ARGUMENTS
