Punjab government Sunday asked the Election Commission of India to review its refusal on the implementation of the recommendations of the Fifth Punjab Pay Commission in the light of strong precedents set by the Election Commission itself.
Earlier the Election Commission had reversed the Punjab government's earlier request to his effect saying that this infringed upon the model code of election conduct.
The government wanted a review of the decision in the light of Election Commission earlier go-ahead to the Chattisgarh for the implementation of pay panel report even while the election code was in force there.
The Punjab government has contended that the Pay Commission had already finalized the report as per the terms of reference issued by the state government on March 3, 2008 and the commission was asked to submit its report within a year by March 31, 2009. As now the report is ready for the submission, the Chief Secretary has once again approached the Election Commission to seek its approval.
