The state government has filed a review petition at the Calcutta High Court on Friday urging it to reconsider a division bench's order delivered on May 22 when the Bengal government was directed to clear DA dues to government employees in three months as per West Bengal Services (Revision of Pay and Allowance) Rules, 2009 (ROPA Rules, 2009). With the three months deadline getting over soon, the state government once again approached the division bench for reconsideration of its judgment. It is to be noted that the government will have to pay the due DA arrears from July 2009. The division bench of Justices Harish Tandon and Rabindranath Samant earlier dismissed the state government's appeal for consideration for the payment of DA.
It may be mentioned that West Bengal employees are currently getting 3% D.A while their counterparts in Central and many other state Govt.s are on receipt of 34% D.A.Saturday, August 13, 2022
