The Punjab and Haryana High Court has taken strong measures to address administrative delays and injustices in salary disbursements. It ordered withholding the salary of Haryana's Finance Secretary for three months due to delayed ex-gratia payments to a bereaved family, directing release of dues with interest within two weeks. Separately, the court restored back wages to a municipal clerk suspended for over a decade and exonerated in criminal and departmental inquiries, ruling that denying salary without proven misconduct is unjust and arbitrary.
