Armed Forces Tribunal issues notice to MoD, MoF on petition seeking pay parity with civil services - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/armed-forces-tribunal-issues-notice-to-mod-mof-on-petition-seeking-pay-parity-with-civil-services/#sthash.SDJkyoGu.dpuf

It has been contended that the armed forces officers cadre meets all the attributes attached to the Group ‘A’ organised service.

The Principal Bench of the Armed Forces Tribunal in New Delhi today issued notice to the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Finance on a petition filed by a serving Colonel who has demanded that the Non-Functional Upgrade (NFU) applicable to IAS officers and other Group ‘A’ services be extended to armed forces as well.


 In his petition, Col Mukul Dev, of the Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Branch, has contended that the morale officers of the armed forces has been lowered by the government by non-grant of the NFU and thus lowering the established status of the armed forces officers since independence. He has also argued that the stagnation in the armed forces is more acute than the civil services and that the denial is in clear violation of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution “as the equals since independence have been made unequals”.
