Sub: Antedating fixation of NFG w.e.f. ---------, Grant of 2nd MACP upgradation w.e.f. -------- and IIIrd MACP w.e.f. ---------- and disbursement of arrears of pay-request regarding.

Sir,

            It is to submit with due regards that I joined the department as Inspector on --------. I was given Ist ACP upgradation w.e.f. --------- placing me in the pay scale of the Superintendent. I was promoted to the post of Superintendent on --------. I was given time scale/NFG in the Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB2 (Level 9) w.e.f. -------- after completion of four years of service as Superintendent which is to be given to me now w.e.f. -------- as per the Subramaniam verdict. 

            3. I was not given IInd MACP upgradation as it was offset with NFG/time scale counting the NFG/time scale as one MACP upgradation. I will be due for/was given IIIrd MACP upgradation w.e.f. --------- on completion of 10 years of grant of time scale or 30 years of service (whichever be earlier) which should be given to me w.e.f. ----------.

            4. In the verdict given by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in UOI & ors vs. Balbir Singh Turn & anr in Civil appeal No 3744/2016, it has been ordered that MACPS should be implemented w.e.f. 01.01.06.

            5. In the verdict given by the Hon’ble Madras High Court in Writ Petition No. 11535/2014, it has been upheld that the Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB-2 & PB-3 is one and the same thing. It was also decided in this case that the time scale can’t be offset with the MACP upgradation and next Grade Pay of Rs. 6600/- is to be given after the time scale in the Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/-. The SLP (C) 15396 of 2015 filed by the Govt. was also dismissed in this case. Thus, the matter has been finally settled at the level of the Hon’ble Apex Court.

6. It has also been settled in Misc. Petition No. 6500, 6502, 6503, 6504, 6530, 6531, 6535, 6561, 6564, 6578 & 6579/2019 by the Hon’ble High Court of Jabalpur that the Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB 2 and Rs. 5400/- in PB 3 is one and same as it has erroneously been treated as separate grade pays for the purpose of grant of upgradations under MACPS. Thus, Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB3 is noway higher than the Grade pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB2 and the Grade Pay of Rs.6600/- should be granted as MACP upgradation after the the non-functional scale of Rs. 5400/- in PB2. So, the Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB2 and PB3 can no way be treated as separate grade pays for the purpose of grant of upgradations under MACP Scheme.

            7. In the verdict given by the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in the W.P.(C) No. 9357/2016, it was upheld that non-functional financial upgradation (time scale) is not MACP upgradation and can’t be offset with it. This order of the High Court has already been implemented vide office order No. 190/E-IV/Estt/DHC Dt. 23.02.18 without preferring any appeal in it. So, this matter is also finally settled.

            8. In W.P. (C) 5146/2012 also, the High Court of Delhi granted the next higher Grade Pay of Rs. 6600/- after time scale to the employees. The SLP(C) No. 010607/2013 filed by the Govt. was also dismissed by the Supreme Court in this case. Thus, the matter has been finally settled at the level of the Hon’ble Apex Court in this case too.

9. The High Court of Madras in WP No. 13225/2010 in Subramaniam case, against which not only the SLP(C) No. 029382/2011 filed by the CBIC was dismissed on 10.10.17 but the review petition has also been dismissed on 23.08.18, has ruled that time scale/NFSG would be granted on completion of 4 years after ACP/MACP upgradation establishing that the ACP/MACP upgradation and time scale are altogether different and can no way be off-set with each other. Thus, the matter has also been finally settled at the level of the Hon’ble Apex Court in this case.

10. It is also worth to submit that any matter is treated as the law of the land after being settled at the level of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Such matters are also treated as the law of the land after being settled even at the level of the Hon’ble High Court or Central Administrative Tribunal, if no appeal made. All of such verdicts are also to be implemented in rem, if there is no specific order by the Hon’ble Court to implement the same in person. If not implemented, it shall also be contemptuous to the concerned court.

11. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly-

(i) Fix my pay in the Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- as NFG/time scale w.e.f. --------.

(ii) Fix my pay in the Grade Pay of Rs. 6600/- as IInd MACP upgradation w.e.f. --------.

(iii) Fix my pay in the Grade Pay of Rs. 7600/- as IIIrd MACP upgradation w.e.f. ---------.

(iv) Also pay me the due arrears with all consequential benefits accordingly.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
