The Managing Director v. Sri. Imam Husensab
Case brief
What is this about?
Writ appeal (WA No. 1601 of 2023, S-RES) by Managing Director, Cashew Development Corporation Ltd. (Government of Karnataka Undertaking) under Section 4, Karnataka High Court Act, against Single Judge order dated 04.09.2023 in WP No. 9870/2021, dismissed by Division Bench (Anu Sivaraman & Rajesh Rai K JJ) on 17.09.2025. Core point: advance increment benefit under Government Circular for SSLC with Kannada as optional language, adopted by Corporation in 125th Board meeting on 25.06.2005 and paid to all serving employees, cannot be denied to erstwhile/retired employees; appellant's financial constraints and specific service rules did not justify interference. Pending interlocutory applications disposed.
What did the court decide?
Having considered the contentions, pleadings and materials on record, the Court held that no grounds were raised in the appeal justifying any interference with the finding of the learned Single Judge on the merits of the case; the appeal therefore failed.
