HC issues contempt notices to three officers

Nagpur, Oct 14

The Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court issued contempt notices to principal secretary of family welfare department of state, joint secretary of union minister of health and family welfare Gayatri Mishra and commissioner of Chandrapur Municipal Corporation Rajesh Mohite in case of pay commission benefit and ordered to file replies within six weeks. The case was heard by Justice Atul Chandurkar and Nitin Suryavanshi.

Shashikala and other eight retired nurses have filed petition in this regard. They were serving in Chandrapur Municipal Corporation from January 1986. Meanwhile, they had filed petition in the high court to get benefits of 4th, 5th and 6th Pay Commissions. The high court had ordered government to take decision within three months on November 14, 2019. But this order was not followed. None was given benefit of pay commission as per rule, said petitioners.
