Salary not dispensed by senior officer is it considered an offence
24-Apr-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I want to know that can salary of a State Govt(UP) employee be stopped/not dispensed by Senior officer even if there is no case of suspension or departmental enquiry or leave problem? Is this on the will of Senior officer to dispense the salary of juniors ? Also in such a case a junior can ask for 24% interest rate ? It will be great help if you could provide reference of any previous judgement
Salary payable to an employee can't be withheld even if there is a pending enquiry against the concerned employee. In normal circumstances, witholding it is a sin and violative of fundamental rights. Interest should be payable in case of delay in release of the same.
