ORDER : We have heard Mr. Venugopal, Mr. Mukhoty and Mr. Dvvivedi as also some of the parties appearing in person on the side of the petitioners and Mr. Ramaswamy, Additional Solicitor General on behalf of Union of India and other respondents. 2. As directed, the counter affidavit has been filed in one of these cases disclosing the stand of the Union of India. We gather from the averments in the affidavits and submissions made learned Addl. Solicitor General that the High Power Committees report is not acceptable to the Union of India as such and the matter requires further examination at their level. We do not propose to indicate any view on merit at this stage. 3. It is however, apparent that the report has been pending with the Government for a too longer time and the court is of the view that if Govt. intended to examine the report that could have been completed by now. In fact we have already indicated in our previous orders that representation made to the court when obtaining several adjournments had given a feeling to us that the Govt. were out to implement the report. 4. The adjourn the matter to give the Union of India opportunity to consider the report or to have the matter thrashed out in court on the basis of the High Power Committees report is bound to take considerable time. We are not satisfied keeping in view the background of the matter and the developments in court that the matter should be adjourned without imposing any condition. The petitioners have waited too long and obviously in expectation of receiving higher benefits by way of salary and allowances. We have been told that a full dressed hearing of the matter would take 3 to 4 days. That time would not be available to the court before December in view of postings of other cases. We direct the hearing to be adjourned to 12th December, 1989 by consent of parties. The matter shall be proceeded day to day until the hearing is finally concluded. The Registry shall take notice of this order and make a Bench available for hearing the matter on the date posted. 5. We direct the hearing to be adjourned to 12th December, 1989 by consent of parties. The matter shall be proceeded day to day until the hearing is finally concluded. The Registry shall take notice of this order and make a Bench available for hearing the matter on the date posted. 5. We have been told that two interim payments were made by the High Power Committee when the matter was pending before the first one was for a sum and the second one was a 10% of the salary. We direct that payment shall be made of 25%, which is represented to involve around Rs. 25 crores to the exchequer. The manner in which the 10% payment as the second instalment has been paid shall form the guideline for payment of this 25% The payment of 25% shall be paid along with the pay for the month of September, 1989.
