JAMMU, Feb 24: In a petition filed by Secretaries of High Court Judges seeking direction to State respondents to consider and treat the services of the petitioners category as one of the feeding service for induction into KAS, as has been done in favour of their counter parts working in the Civil Secretariat, Justice Bansi Lal Bhat today issued notice to Chief Secretary, Law Secretary and Registrar General of State High Court returnable within one week.
In the petition, it has been submitted that the petitioners are borne on the Cadre of Secretaries, attached with the Judges of the High Court and presently placed in the grade of Rs 10000-15200 (unrevised), which was released in their favour in October, 2008, after they were substantively promoted as Secretaries, in pursuance to the reorganization scheme of the High Court.
“The counter parts of the petitioners working in the Civil Secretariat attached with the Ministers/MPs/Head of Departments, were released certain benefits regarding higher pay scales with designation but this benefit was being denied to the petitioners category working in the High Court”, the petition said, adding “no step in this regard was initiated by the Registrar General J&K High Court, regarding creation of posts in the High Court in the higher grades jeopardizing the rights of the petitioners category”.
