Authority: High Court of Uttarakhand at Nainital
Order Date: 25 September 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Bhagwan Chand and another individual, originally appointed in the erstwhile U.P. State Road Transport Corporation and transferred to Uttarakhand Transport Corporation after state reorganisation.
- Respondents: State of Uttarakhand and Uttarakhand Transport Corporation.
- Reliefs sought: (i) Mandamus to implement the 6th Pay Commission recommendation/revision of pay as per Government Order dated 2‑Feb‑2010, granting notional benefit from 1‑Jan‑2006 to 30‑Sep‑2009 and thereafter from 1‑Oct‑2009 instead of 1‑Jan‑2012; (ii) Mandamus to recalculate salary arrears for the same period, apply ACP to basic salary, and pay actual arrears, gratuity, leave encashment, other retiral dues with admissible interest; (iii) Mandamus to decide the petitioners' representation regarding the 6th pay revision.
- Petitioners allege that other employees of Uttarakhand Transport Corporation received the 6th Pay Commission benefits only from 1‑Jan‑2012, despite the recommendation being effective from 1‑Jan‑2006.
- Petitioners claim they have already submitted a representation which remains pending; counsel argues a fresh representation and a time‑bound decision are necessary for justice.
- Respondent Uttarakhand Transport Corporation raised no objection to the issuance of such an order.
Final Outcome
- The writ petition is disposed with liberty to the petitioners to make a fresh representation to the competent authority of Uttarakhand Transport Corporation within two weeks from the date of this order.
- The competent authority is directed to decide the representation within four months of its receipt, in accordance with the law.
- No monetary award or immediate payment is ordered; the relief is procedural, directing the administrative process to address the petitioners' claims.
