Chandigarh, October 26
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has slapped a fine of Rs 40,000 on the Punjab Government for not filing a reply to four petitions filed by retired doctors. They had challenged the reduction in their pension by imposing ceiling.
Justice Ajay Tewari took serious view of the Punjab Government’s conduct in not filing reply. The retired doctors had
challenged the exclusion of non-practicing allowance (NPA) for computation of pay towards calculation of pension.
The petitions were filed in 2010-2011, but the state government did not file its reply for a considerable period, and eventually filed its reply through principal of Government Medical College, Amritsar.
The High Court did not accept that reply and issued directions that since a notification issued by the state government had been challenged, the reply be filed by the Principal Secretary, Department of Finance. Still, the State Government did not file its reply.
