The undersigned is directed to say that it has come to the notice of this Department that in some cases where the Courts have passed orders against the Government of India, the administrative Ministry/ Department has not consulted this Department on the question of filing appeal against such orders, before implementation of such orders.
2. Instructions have been issued from time to time that whenever there is any Court order against the Government of India instructions on service matters, the administrative Ministry/ Department/ Office shall consult the Department of Legal Affairs, Department of Personnel & Trg. and the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare on the question of filing appeal against such an order before the time limit, if any, prescribed in such order or before the time limit for filing appeal under the rules.
3. It is therefore, reiterated that in all cases where any policy issue relating to pension matters is involved, the Department of Pension & PW should invariably be consulted before taking a decision on the question of implementation or otherwise of any order of a Court. No such order shall be implemented by the concerned Departments/ Ministries without first referring the matter to this Department for advice.
