JUDGMENT
(Dated this the 20th day of August 2025)
Basant Balaji J.,
The O.P. Nos.111,132 and 161 of 2024 assails the order dated 16 October
2023 and O.P. Nos 135, 174 and 186 are challenging the common order
dated 25 September 2023 of the Central Administrative Tribunal,
Ernakulam Bench, wherein the Tribunal in both these common orders has
directed the Railway to issue orders stepping up their pay within a period of
3 months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Since the Petitioners
are one and the same and common issues arise in these matters, they were
heard together, and a common judgment is passed.
2. The common issue that arises for consideration is a frequent legal
issue is whether employees are entitled to a pay increase because a junior
with whom they share a common starting point is earning a higher salary.
3. The Applicants in O.A. Nos. 236, 252, and 244 of 2021, and O.A.
Nos.426, 357, and 422 of 2023, who were posted as Chief Loco Inspectors
in the Palakkad and Thiruvananthapuram divisions, are seeking to have
their pay stepped up. They are basing their claim on orders from the Salem
division of the Southern Railway (Annexures A14-A17 in O.A. Nos. 236,
252, and 244 of 2021 and A18-A21 in O.A. Nos. 426, 357, and 422 of
2023). These orders were issued in accordance with a Railway Board
OP(CAT) Nos.111, 132, 135, 161, 174,
2025:KER:63094
directive (Lr No. E.(PA)/II/2008/RS-37 dated 27 June 2020), which
mandated that the pay of senior loco inspectors appointed before 1 January
2006, be raised to match that of their juniors who were appointed after that
date. This direction was a result of orders from various High Courts and a
judgment from the Supreme Court.
4. In their reply, the Petitioners argued that the Respondents are not
entitled to a pay increase. They contended that since the Respondents work
in different divisions and cadres, they cannot seek a pay adjustment based
on orders that specifically pertain to employees in the Salem division.
5. Stepping up of pay is applicable only when the following
conditions are met:
a) Both the junior and senior Railway servant should belong to
the same cadre and the post in which they have been promoted
should be identical in the same cadre and other conditions
enumerated in Note 10 below Rule 7 of RS (RP) Rules, 2008
should be fulfilled.
b) The stepping up of pay will be allowed to running staff only
appointed as the Loco supervisors in whose cases 30% of basic
pay is taken as pay element in the running allowance. The
stepping up of pay will not be admissible to the non-running
staff of Mechanical Dept. appointed as Loco Running Super-
visors as in their cases the question of pay element in the run-
ning allowance does not arise;
c) If even in the lower post, revised or pre-revised the junior was
drawing more pay than the senior by virtue of advance
increments granted to him or otherwise, stepping up will not
be permissible.
d) Stepping up will be allowed only once; the pay so fixed after
OP(CAT) Nos.111, 132, 135, 161, 174,
2025:KER:63094
stepping up will remain unchanged:
e) The next increment will be allowed on the following 1st July,
if due, on completion of the requisite qualifying service with
effect from the date of re-fixation of pay, as per the provisions
of Rule 10 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008."
6. Heard learned ASGI, Sri. ARL. Sundaresan assisted by Shri.T.C.
Krishna SCGC, Shri.K.R.Rajkumar SCGC, Shri.K. Shri Hari Rao CGC,
Shri.K.S.Prenjith Kumar CGC for the Petitioners and Smt.Rekha
Vasudevan, Shri.S. Radhakrishnan and Shri.T.C. Govindaswamy for the
Respondents.
7. The learned ASGI submitted that the Tribunal failed to address the
case's merits and the contentions in the reply statement. The Tribunal's
decision to dispose of the Original Petitions was based on its assumption
that orders in Annexures A14 to A17 (produced in O.A.No.236 of 2021),
issued by the Salem division of the Southern Railway, automatically applied
to the Applicants from the Palakkad and Trivandrum divisions simply
because they all fall under the same railway zone. The ASGI argued that
the Tribunal overlooked the crucial contentions that these divisions are
distinct, and that the Applicants do not belong to the same cadre and post,
which would make pay stepping inadmissible. A further argument that
Goods drivers, Loco Inspectors, and Senior Loco Inspectors are in three
separate grades with different pay scales was also not considered by the
Tribunal.
8. The counsel for the Respondents argued that the tribunal correctly
OP(CAT) Nos.111, 132, 135, 161, 174,
2025:KER:63094
found that Annexures A14 to A17 orders (produced in O.A.No.236 of
2021) passed by the Salem division in identical cases, should apply to the
Respondents. They contended that since the Respondents are similarly
situated and all fall under the Southern Railway, the tribunal's decision was
justified, and therefore, no interference with the order is warranted.
9. The Tribunal disposed of the Original Applications by directing that
the Applicants' pay be stepped up to match their juniors' pay within one
month. This decision was based on Annexures A14 to A17, which were
issued by the Salem division. The Tribunal did not address the argument
that the Salem division is separate and that the Applicants, who are posted
in the Palakkad and Trivandrum divisions, cannot be compared to their
counterparts there. Instead, it was swayed by the fact that all three divisions
are part of the Southern Railway.
10. A senior employee is entitled to claim pay parity with a junior through
pay stepping only if the conditions outlined in the Railway Board order are
satisfied. Since the Tribunal failed to consider the merits of this issue, we
have no option but to set aside the orders.
11. In the result, these Original Petitions are allowed, order dated 25
September 2023 in O.A.No.236 of 2021 and connected cases as well as
the order dated 16 October 2023 in O.A.No.357 of 2023 and connected
cases, are set aside and the matter is remitted for fresh consideration.
12. It is to be noted that in OA. Nos. 196 and 197 of 2021, the Tribunal
had initially granted the Applicants the liberty to submit representations
detailing their claims for pay stepping, and directed the Railway to issue
OP(CAT) Nos.111, 132, 135, 161, 174,
2025:KER:63094
orders within three months. However, as we have now set aside the
common order of the Tribunal, the benefits previously granted cannot be
applied to the Applicants in those cases. Any future representations they
submit must align with the orders that will be passed by the Tribunal
following this remand.
