RADHEY SHYAM Vs. DISTRICT JUDGE MORADABAD

JUDGEMENT

(1.) R. B. Mehrotra, J. Chhotey Lal, Sweeper of the Court of Sambhal moved an application that he is drawing salary only of Rs. 150 per month. He has got four daughters and son. It is difficult for him to maintain him self and his family in the aforesaid meagre amount and prayed that he should be provided salary adequate to maintain himself and his family. This application was moved On my inspection visit to Moradabad on 6, 7 and 8-11-1995. A similar application was moved by Radhey Shayam, Sweeper-cum-Farrash of Thakurdwara outline court who made a grievance that he was being (sic) salary only of Rs. 185 per mouth.

(2.) ON both the aforesaid applications, I enquired and found that soma Safai Karmacharis of the district courts had earlier made application to the effect that they should be provided minimum wages which are being paid to fourth class employees. The representation of the aforesaid Safai Karmcharis of the district courts was forwarded to the State Government.

(3.) THE District Judge, Hardoi has even informed that he has not received the Government order. This shows that the necessary order of the Court along with Government order has not reached all the courts. However, since there is no dispute on the merits of the issue and the Government has already come out with its order dated 19-3-1996 sanctioning salary of Rs. 785 per month to Sweeper-cum- Farrash employed in the district courts, it is not necessary to further postpone the decision in this matter. Several District Judges have already informed that in pursuance of the order of this Court and>n pursuance of the Government order, Safai Karmcharis are being paid their salary at the rate of Rs. 785 per month.
