CAV JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL)
This intra Court appeal is filed under Section 4 of the
Karnataka High Court Act, 1961, challenging the order dated
20.03.2024 passed by the learned Single Judge in
W.P.No.20653/2022. CCC No.1126/2024 is filed alleging willful
disobedience of the order of the learned Single Judge.
2. The brief facts leading to filing of the appeal are
that the respondents claiming to be the employees of Sree
Kukke Subramanya temple sought for granting benefits of
revised pay scale of 6th pay commission w.e.f. 01.04.2018. The
appellant-State extended the benefit of revised pay scale of 6th
pay commission from 01.10.2021 which was interfered with by
the learned Single Judge on the ground of disparity and
directed the appellant-State to implement the 6th pay
commission to the respondents w.e.f. 01.04.2018. Being
aggrieved, the State is in appeal.
3. Sri.Devadas N., learned Additional Advocate
General appearing for the appellant-State submits that the
learned Single Judge has erred in granting 6th pay commission
- 47 -
NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB
HC-KAR
from 01.04.2018 without appreciating the fact that the fixing of
cut off is a prerogative of the State. In support of his
contention, he placed reliance on the decision of the Hon'ble
Supreme Court in the case of GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA
PRADESH AND OTHERS Vs. N.SUBBARAYUDU AND
OTHERS1. It is submitted that the impugned order of the
appellant-State effecting the 6th pay commission contains
detailed reasons and without considering the same, the learned
Single Judge ought not to have altered the date. Hence, he
seeks to allow the appeal.
4. Per contra, Sri.B.S.Sachin, learned counsel
appearing for the respondents supports the order of the learned
Single Judge and submits that the very appellant extended the
6th pay commission to the employees of Sree Kolluru
Mookambika temple which is also Category 'A' temple under the
provisions of the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and
Charitable Endowments Act, 1997 (hereinafter referred to as
'the Act'). It is submitted that the Officer of the temple has
recommended to implement the 6th pay commission to the
(2008) 14 SCC 702
- 48 -
NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB
HC-KAR
employees from 01.04.2018 and without any justifiable reason,
the impugned order is passed. It is further submitted that the
present appeal is filed with a delay of 210 days and no
sufficient cause is shown to condone such delay. In support of
his contentions, he places reliance on the decision of the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of UNION OF INDIA AND
OTHERS Vs. MUNSHI RAM2. Hence, he seeks to dismiss the
appeal on merits as well as on delay.
5. We have heard the arguments of the learned
Additional Advocate General for the appellant-State, the
learned counsel for the respondents and perused the material
available on record. We have given our anxious consideration
to the submissions made on both sides.
6. It is not in dispute that the private respondents in
this proceeding are the employees of Sree Kukke Subramanya
temple, Subramanya, Dakshina Kannada District. The said
temple is Category 'A' notified institution. It is also not in
dispute that the respondents-employees are drawing the salary
as per the pay scale fixed and the revised 6th pay scale was
2022 SCC ONLINE SC 1493
- 49 -
NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB
HC-KAR
granted w.e.f 01.08.2021. The respondents sought the
implementation of the 6th pay scale w.e.f. 01.04.2018 on the
ground of parity. The respondents have specifically pleaded in
their objections that the employees of Category 'A' notified
institutions have been granted the benefit of 6th pay scale
w.e.f. 01.04.2018. It is to be noticed that the appellant No.4-
the Executive Officer of the temple has recommended for grant
of benefit of the 6th pay scale w.e.f. 01.04.2018 considering
that the salary expenditure would not exceed 35%. The
records indicate that the granting of the said benefit to the
employees of the temple would not exceed more than 12% of
the total expenditure. The contention of learned Additional
Advocate General that the fixing of cut off date is a prerogative
of the appellant-State, cannot be disputed. However, the cut
off date cannot be fixed in a manner that is arbitrary or
discriminatory.
7. In the case on hand, the appellant No.4 himself has
made a recommendation for granting of benefit of 6th pay
commission w.e.f. 01.04.2018 and similar benefit has been
granted to the similarly placed employees of the notified
- 50 -
NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB
HC-KAR
institution and the said aspect has been rightly considered by
the learned Single Judge. The judgment relied on by the
learned Additional Advocate General would not help him as the
action of the appellant-State is discriminatory in treating
similarly placed persons dissimilarly. Our view gains support
from the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of
MUNSHI RAM, referred supra. The learned Single Judge, on
appreciation of the contentions urged and the material on
record has interfered with the impugned order of the appellant-
State dated 18.10.2021 by directing the appellants to
implement the 6th pay commission to the respondents w.e.f.
01.04.2018. We do not find any error or perversity in the
finding recorded by the learned Single Judge calling for any
interference. We have also perused the affidavit accompanying
the application filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act,
1973. We do not find any sufficient cause to condone the delay
of 210 days in filing the appeal and on this ground also, the
appeal is liable to be rejected.
8. The appellant is granted eight weeks' time from
today to implement the order of the learned Single Judge dated
- 51 -
NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB
HC-KAR
20.03.2024. In view of the same, CCC No.1126/2024 needs to
be dropped with liberty to file fresh contempt petition if the
appellant-authorities fail to implement the order.
9. For the aforementioned reasons, the writ appeal is
devoid of merit and accordingly, the same is dismissed. The
application for condonation of delay also stands rejected.
Consequently, the pending applications are disposed of.
The appellant is granted eight weeks' time from today to
implement the order of the learned Single Judge dated
20.03.2024.
The contempt petition is dropped with liberty to file fresh
contempt petition if the appellant-authorities fail to implement
the order.
No order as to costs.
