BSNLEU's case against IDA freezing - Hon'ble Kerala High Court passes interim order.

BSNLEU has filed case in the Hon'ble Kerala High Court, challenging the freezing of 3 instalments of IDA to the Non-Executives of BSNL. In this case, the Hon'ble Kerala High Court has passed an interim order. The Hon’ble Court has reiterated that, the IDA freezing is applicable only to the Executives and Non-Unionised supervisors and not to the Non-Executives of BSNL. Further, the Hon’ble Court has categorically ordered that, the benefit of IDA should not be denied to the members of the Petitioner Union. Now, the government has no other option, but to pay the instalments of IDA to the Non-Executives of BSNL. CHQ is awaiting the certified copy of the Hon’ble Court order, for further action. Circle and District secretaries are requested to widely circulate this news among the employees.
