Hyderabad,March 1: The AP High Court on Tuesday sought a response from the state government, based on a petition seeking a direction to declare the action of the state government in not deducting the salary of employees who participated in the non-cooperation movement from February 17, as illegal.
A division bench comprising Justice V. Eswaraiah and Justice V. Suri Appa Rao was dealing with the petition filed by one Mr C. Narayana, a resident of Anantapur, contending that the action of the employees was against to the AP Civil Service Conduct Rules.
Mr P.V. Krishnaiah, counsel for the petitioner, brought to the notice of the court that the entire administration in the state has come to a standstill and there was huge loss on the exchequer due to the non-cooperation movement of the employees.
He argued that it was the obligation of the state to follow “no work, no pay” principle during such a pen down strike and non-cooperation movement by the employees, besides initiating disciplinary action in terms of the Conduct Rules.
The bench issued a notice to the state government directing it to file a counter affidavit on the plea within three weeks.
