Petitioners are employees of the Kerala State Centre for Advance Printing and Training (C-APT) engaged in their Sub Centre at Pala. It is an autonomous body created by the Government as per G.O(MS) No.73/91/H.Edn dated 28.04.1992.

2. The grievance of the petitioners is with regard to the disbursement of salary paid to them. The petitioners' case is that in the matter of disbursement of salary, the 1st respondent is releasing salary due to the employees at Head Quarters and Sub Centres at Thiruvananthapuram on the first day of every Calender months. But payment to other employees are delayed without any reason. The employees cannot be discriminated in the matter of payment of salary and other service benefits applicable to them based on the Centre they are working.

3. A statement has been filed by the 1st respondent. It is stated that the management gives extreme priority in disbursing salary at the beginning of every month for all employees including Head Office and Sub Centres. The total number of W.P.(C) No.30766 of 2014 2 employees at present is 706 only. It is further submitted that the management releases salary and allowances to all its units including sub centres. The disbursement of salary to sub centres will not come under the purview of discrimination in its sense in this particular case.

4. The petitioners are claiming their legitimate claim for payment of salary on the day, the same being disbursed to the employees at the Head Office. The employer cannot discriminate in the matter of payment of salary unless if there is any legitimate impediment in releasing such salary. In this matter no such plea has been raised. On the other hand, it is submitted that, salary is being paid at the beginning of every month to every employees.

5. I am of the view that, in the matter of disbursing salary, all employees shall be considered in the same manner and it shall be disbursed on the same day unless management finds any cogent reason for the delay. The writ petition is disposed of. A. MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, JUDGE sj
