THIS WRIT APPEAL CONNECTED WITH C.C.C. HAVING BEEN HEARD AND RESERVED ON 13.10.2025, COMING ON FOR PRONOUNCEMENT OF JUDGMENT, THIS DAY VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL J., DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANU SIVARAMAN and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL - 46 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB WA No.1784/2024 C/W CCC No.1126/2024 CAV JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL) This intra Court appeal is filed under Section 4 of the Karnataka High Court Act, 1961, challenging the order dated 20.03.2024 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.20653/2022. CCC No.1126/2024 is filed alleging willful disobedience of the order of the learned Single Judge. 2. The brief facts leading to filing of the appeal are that the respondents claiming to be the employees of Sree Kukke Subramanya temple sought for granting benefits of revised pay scale of 6th pay commission w.e.f. 01.04.2018. The appellant-State extended the benefit of revised pay scale of 6th pay commission from 01.10.2021 which was interfered with by the learned Single Judge on the ground of disparity and directed the appellant-State to implement the 6th pay commission to the respondents w.e.f. 01.04.2018. Being aggrieved, the State is in appeal. 3. Sri.Devadas N., learned Additional Advocate General appearing for the appellant-State submits that the learned Single Judge has erred in granting 6th pay commission - 47 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB WA No.1784/2024 C/W CCC No.1126/2024 from 01.04.2018 without appreciating the fact that the fixing of cut off is a prerogative of the State. In support of his contention, he placed reliance on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AND OTHERS Vs. N.SUBBARAYUDU AND OTHERS1. It is submitted that the impugned order of the appellant-State effecting the 6th pay commission contains detailed reasons and without considering the same, the learned Single Judge ought not to have altered the date. Hence, he seeks to allow the appeal. 4. Per contra, Sri.B.S.Sachin, learned counsel appearing for the respondents supports the order of the learned Single Judge and submits that the very appellant extended the 6th pay commission to the employees of Sree Kolluru Mookambika temple which is also Category 'A' temple under the provisions of the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act, 1997 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). It is submitted that the Officer of the temple has recommended to implement the 6th pay commission to the 1 (2008) 14 SCC 702 - 48 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB WA No.1784/2024 C/W CCC No.1126/2024 employees from 01.04.2018 and without any justifiable reason, the impugned order is passed. It is further submitted that the present appeal is filed with a delay of 210 days and no sufficient cause is shown to condone such delay. In support of his contentions, he places reliance on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of UNION OF INDIA AND OTHERS Vs. MUNSHI RAM2. Hence, he seeks to dismiss the appeal on merits as well as on delay. 5. We have heard the arguments of the learned Additional Advocate General for the appellant-State, the learned counsel for the respondents and perused the material available on record. We have given our anxious consideration to the submissions made on both sides. 6. It is not in dispute that the private respondents in this proceeding are the employees of Sree Kukke Subramanya temple, Subramanya, Dakshina Kannada District. The said temple is Category 'A' notified institution. It is also not in dispute that the respondents-employees are drawing the salary as per the pay scale fixed and the revised 6th pay scale was 2 2022 SCC ONLINE SC 1493 - 49 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB WA No.1784/2024 C/W CCC No.1126/2024 granted w.e.f 01.08.2021. The respondents sought the implementation of the 6th pay scale w.e.f. 01.04.2018 on the ground of parity. The respondents have specifically pleaded in their objections that the employees of Category 'A' notified institutions have been granted the benefit of 6th pay scale w.e.f. 01.04.2018. It is to be noticed that the appellant No.4- the Executive Officer of the temple has recommended for grant of benefit of the 6th pay scale w.e.f. 01.04.2018 considering that the salary expenditure would not exceed 35%. The records indicate that the granting of the said benefit to the employees of the temple would not exceed more than 12% of the total expenditure. The contention of learned Additional Advocate General that the fixing of cut off date is a prerogative of the appellant-State, cannot be disputed. However, the cut off date cannot be fixed in a manner that is arbitrary or discriminatory. 7. In the case on hand, the appellant No.4 himself has made a recommendation for granting of benefit of 6th pay commission w.e.f. 01.04.2018 and similar benefit has been granted to the similarly placed employees of the notified - 50 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB WA No.1784/2024 C/W CCC No.1126/2024 institution and the said aspect has been rightly considered by the learned Single Judge. The judgment relied on by the learned Additional Advocate General would not help him as the action of the appellant-State is discriminatory in treating similarly placed persons dissimilarly. Our view gains support from the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of MUNSHI RAM, referred supra. The learned Single Judge, on appreciation of the contentions urged and the material on record has interfered with the impugned order of the appellant- State dated 18.10.2021 by directing the appellants to implement the 6th pay commission to the respondents w.e.f. 01.04.2018. We do not find any error or perversity in the finding recorded by the learned Single Judge calling for any interference. We have also perused the affidavit accompanying the application filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1973. We do not find any sufficient cause to condone the delay of 210 days in filing the appeal and on this ground also, the appeal is liable to be rejected. 8. The appellant is granted eight weeks' time from today to implement the order of the learned Single Judge dated - 51 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41163-DB WA No.1784/2024 C/W CCC No.1126/2024 20.03.2024. In view of the same, CCC No.1126/2024 needs to be dropped with liberty to file fresh contempt petition if the appellant-authorities fail to implement the order. 9. For the aforementioned reasons, the writ appeal is devoid of merit and accordingly, the same is dismissed. The application for condonation of delay also stands rejected. Consequently, the pending applications are disposed of. The appellant is granted eight weeks' time from today to implement the order of the learned Single Judge dated 20.03.2024. The contempt petition is dropped with liberty to file fresh contempt petition if the appellant-authorities fail to implement the order. No order as to costs.
