As the writ petition was filed in the year 2001, we modify the order of payment of interest @ 6 % p.a. of the arrears of salary w.e.f. the date of the filing of the writ petition.
Issues:
1. High Court's order interference. 2. Parity of pay for a member of the Trade Tax Tribunal. Analysis: 1. The Supreme Court, comprising Hon'ble Mr. Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Hon'ble Mr. Justice Hemant Gupta, in the matter of SLP (CIVIL) NOS.17410/2017 and 8372/2018, declined to interfere with the impugned order(s) of the High Court. The Court dismissed the Special Leave Petitions without citing any specific reasons for interference, thereby upholding the High Court's decision. Any pending application(s) were also disposed of in this regard. 2. In the case of SLP (CIVIL) NO.29091/2018, the respondent, a former advocate turned member of the Trade Tax Tribunal, had filed a writ petition seeking parity of pay with other members in Government service. The High Court granted the relief of parity of pay to the respondent with an interest rate of 6% from the year of his appointment in 1994. However, since the writ petition was filed in 2001, the Supreme Court modified the order, directing the payment of interest at 6% per annum on the arrears of salary from the date of filing the writ petition. The Court instructed the petitioner to clear the arrears of salary owed to the respondent within three months from the date of the judgment. The Special Leave Petition was disposed of, and any pending application(s) were also resolved accordingly.
