2. In the Government Order second read above, the following amendment was issued with effect from 31.12.2014:-
AMENDMENT
In the said Fundamental Rules, after rule 26 and the Rulings and the
Implications there under, the following rule shall be inserted, namely:-
“26-A-The Government servant, who retires on or after the 31st December
2014 and whose increment falls due on the next day following the date of
superannuation, on completion of one full year of service which is countable for
increment under Rule 26, shall be sanctioned with one increment at the rate of 3% of
Pay + Grade Pay, notionally on the afternoon of the date of retirement, purely for
pensionary benefits only”.
3. The Writ Petition No.15107 of 2016 has been filed by Thiru S.Srinivasan to
quash the orders issued in G.O.Ms.No.311, Finance (CMPC) Department,
dated:31.12.2014 in so far as it restricts the grant of notional increment purely for the
purpose of pensionary benefit and consequently direct the respondents to grant the
notional increment to the petitioner, on the date of his retirement.
4. The Hon’ble High Court in its order dated:16.08.2017 in Writ Petition
No.15107 of 2016 has observed that “the purport of the Government Order is to
grant benefits in accordance with the Fundamental Rules and the Government in
G.O.Ms.No.311, further issued directions to carry out necessary amendment to the
Fundamental Rules in this regard. Such being the factum of the case, the claim with
regard to the grant of annual increments for the retirees prior to and after
G.O.Ms.No.311, Finance (CMPC) Department, dated:31.12.2014, is to be affirmed
by the State. Further, the eligibility of the writ petitioner in respect of the annual
increments cannot be denied. In view of the above the date of retirement is not
prescribed as a cut-off date in the Government Order regarding eligibility. Since the
claims set out in this writ petition deserve consideration. Accordingly, if the writ
petitioner falls in the category as stipulated in G.O.Ms.No.311, Finance (CMPC)
Department, dated:31.12.2014, he is eligible to get his annual increments notionally
with effect from the date of retirement and the monetary benefits will be granted with
effect from 31.12.2014 i.e., the date of G.O.Ms.No.311, Finance (CMPC)
Department, dated:31.12.2014. With this clarification respondent and competent
authorities are directed to implement G.O.Ms.No.311 Finance (CMPC) Department,
dated.31.12.2014, by granting the benefit of annual increments, by verifying the
respective service records of the writ petitioners and pay the monetary benefits
prospectively with effect from 31.12.2014”.
5. In the orders of the Hon’ble High Court of Madras fourth to twenty first
read above, orders were passed by the Hon’ble High Court to extend the benefit of
G.O.Ms.No.311 Finance (CMPC) Department, dated:31.12.2014 in favour of the
petitioners.
6. After careful consideration of the various judgments passed by the Hon’ble
High Court, the Government have decided to comply the orders of the Hon’ble High
Court in favour of all eligible retired employees who have completed one full year of
service and not sanctioned annual increment due to their superannuation prior to
31.12.2014. Accordingly, Government extend the benefit of sanction of annual
increment to all the petitioners who have filed various Writ Petitions and all other
similarly placed persons who retired prior to 31.12.2014 and completed one full year
of service prior to their retirement, notionally with effect from the date of their
retirement for the purpose of revision of pension with monetary benefit prospectively
with effect from 31.12.2014 i.e. from the date of issue of G.O.Ms.No.311, Finance
(CMPC) Department, dated:31.12.2014.
7. The Government also direct that the rate of notional increment granted
above, shall not exceed the eligible rate based on the basic pay drawn by the
employee on the date of retirement.
8. Necessary amendment to Fundamental Rules will be issued by the
Personnel & Administrative Reforms Department separately.
