Headnote | Service Law – Home Guards – Disbursal of salary – Writ petition was filed by original writ petitioners, who were working as Home Guards for more than 10 to 15 years, seeking disbursal of their salary as per direction of the Supreme Court in Grah Rakshak, Home Guards Welfare Association vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and others – Division Bench of the High Court restricted the payment at the rate of Rs. 533/- per day to the Home Guards from January, 2020, instead of 10.11.2016, as directed by the Single Judge of the High Court – On appeal, held: The State cannot be permitted to submit that as contractual Constables appointed under Rule 2013 are being paid a fixed lump sum amount at the entry level, the Home Guards after rendering 10 to 15 years of service also shall be entitled to the same fixed salary and the aforesaid stand would be just contrary to the directions issued by Supreme Court in the case of Grah Rakshak – The High Court has rightly directed to pay the DCA at Rs. 533 per day – So far as restricting the benefit of DCA at Rs. 533/- per day from January, 2020 is concerned, no cogent reasons were assigned by the Division Bench of the High Court to restrict the benefit of Rs. 533/- per day from January, 2020 instead of 10.11.2016 – Director General had recommended on 10.11.2016 to pay DCA at Rs. 533/- per day which was in consonance with the decision of Supreme Court in the case of Grah Rakshak – Taking into consideration the huge financial burden on the State, the benefit of DCA at Rs. 533/- per day would be from the date of filing of the writ petition before the Single Judge i.e. from 01.06.2018 – Odisha Group-C & Group-D (Contractual Appointment) Rules 2013. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
