On the 1st of February, Tuesday, the Andhra Pradesh High Court (HC) reviewed a petition filed against the Pay Revision Commission (PRC) and Government Orders (GOs) regarding it.

It is to be noted, there is a war going on between Andhra Pradesh employees and the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) Government, over new PRC rules. The employees are against the recent Government Order (GO) issued over the PRC. The PRC Sadana committee comprising employees, teachers, workers, and pensioners passed a unanimous resolution for the strike. Notably, similar to the Telangana employees, the Andhra Pradesh Government employees are also demanding over 28% fitment. However, the Chief Secretary (CS) formed a committee, refused the demand, and provided only 14.7% fitment to the employees, citing the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Now, despite the ongoing war, Mr. Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, decided to release the pensions for 2021, as per the new Government Order (GO.) Notably, the Andhra Pradesh Government asked to send pensioners list to the Finance Department, following which it will release the pension as per the PRC

Raising voice against the same, the matter has now taken a legal turn with the involvement of the Andhra Pradesh High Court (HC.) Mr. Krishnaiah, the President of the Gazetted Officers’ Association, has filed a petition in the High Court alleging salary cuts in the PRC. In his petition, he mentioned that the service benefits have been reduced and demanded old PRC for employees.

Reviewing the petition, the High Court has issued interim orders directing the YSRCP Government to pay their salaries without recovery as mentioned in the GO.

In addition, the HC bench also directed the A.P., Government to file a counterclaim as part of the inquiry and adjourned the hearing for three weeks.

He also asked the State Government to order the abolition of GO 1, for the PRC.

Meanwhile, the PRC Sadhana Samithi will start a protest and call for a strike on the 7th of February. In addition, the PRC committee, gave a call to start the “Chalo Vijayawada” protest on the 3rd of February, refusing to accept the new PRC.

Stay tuned for further updates.
