DA Arears Latest News Today: Only one day remains. Following that, the six-week deadline established by the Supreme Court for the payment of the outstanding Dearness Allowance (DA) will conclude.
However, no one within the administration can definitively state whether a final decision has been reached on this matter. Consequently, the DA litigants are closely monitoring the situation. According to those involved, the option of pursuing contempt of court cases remains viable.
The Supreme Court issued an interim ruling on May 16, stipulating that at least 25% of the outstanding DA must be disbursed within six weeks. The employee organizations that initiated the lawsuit assert that the deadline expires tomorrow, Thursday.
Should no communication be received from Navanna by that time, the litigants are preparing to send a legal notice to the administration’s senior officials. In this context, legal experts indicate that if the state fails to comply with this ruling, the Supreme Court may dismiss the Special Leave Petition (SLP), resulting in the state being obligated to pay 100% of the DA as per the High Court’s ruling.
