Rejecting the plea of
the school that the teacher was working in an unrecognized school, a Division
Bench of Delhi High Court consisting of Justice S. Ravindra Bhat and Justice
Najmi Waziri on January 9, 2015 directed the management of Kulachi Hansraj
Model School to pay to its teacher Smt. Pramod Popli arrears of 6th
pay commission salary amounting to Rupees 5, 90,557.00 for the period from
January 2006 to July 2012 along with 9% interest thereupon within four weeks.
The High Court was
hearing a review petition filed by the school management against the Division
Bench order dated 09.09.2013 dismissing the school’s appeal against the Single
Judge Order dated 29.04.2013. The Single Judge had held that Smt. Pramod Popli
was entitled to the benefits of 6th pay commission report till she
retired on 31.07.2012.
Lawyer Ashok Agarwal
appearing for the teacher Smt. Pramod Popli had opposed the review petition of
the school arguing that her client was working in a recognized school, namely,
Kulachi Hansraj Model School and was therefore, entitled to salary in terms of
6th pay commission.
The High Court has
directed the school to file a compliance report and listed the matter for
28.03.2015.
