Pareshrao s/o Laxmanrao Jagdale Versus Addl. Secretary, M.P.P.K.V.V.C Ltd. & others

Madhya Pradesh High Court (Single Judge)

WRIT PETITION, 11126 of 2013, Judgment Date: Dec 16, 2020

Law laid down :

The up-gradation schemes introduced by the Government/Employer envisage mere placement in the higher pay scale/grant of financial benefits through financial up-gradation on a personal basis. Though normal promotion norms available for consideration of an employee for promotion, would be attracted under the scheme, yet only financial up-gradation could be given, even though the duties of the employee, the designation etc. remain the same, as enjoyed by him before granting of financial up-gradation. Such up-gradation did not confer any privilege relating to the higher status and was meant for the promotional post.

The grant of the higher pay scale is only compensation to the Government employee by giving a higher pay scale because due to some compelling reasons the Government is not in a position to grant promotion to the employees. Despite getting higher pay scale which is a pay scale of the promotional post the employees substantially works on a feeder post irrespective to the fact he is getting pay of promotional post , as the case may be. He never gets the perks of and benefits attached to promotional post.
