After a six-month hiatus, the hearing for the state government's Dearness Allowance (DA) case is scheduled to resume in the Supreme Court. Questions are arising about the duration of these proceedings.
The DA case hearing in the Supreme Court may take place in 2025. This will be the 14th hearing of the case after a 6-month gap. The last hearing of the DA case in the Supreme Court took place in July of this year.
State government employees hope the DA case will conclude within three hearings. Malay Mukhopadhyay believes the court will hear the employees' side after the government's arguments.
The Supreme Court may deliver the DA verdict after hearing both sides. The timeline remains uncertain. Employees hope the Supreme Court will order the state government to pay the pending DA.
The DA case hearings in the Supreme Court have been ongoing since 2022, starting on November 18, 2022. The Supreme Court stated the need to hear the state government employees' arguments.
State government employees have been fighting for DA since 2018, initially in the Calcutta High Court. The state government appealed to the Supreme Court after the Calcutta High Court ruled in favor of the employees.
