The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that individuals in non-government jobs receiving periodic pay hikes<\/a> or annual increments can be considered permanent employees. This decision came while the court partly allowed a revision petition for an increase in compensation related to a road accident case. The court thereby increased the compensation by over Rs 2.72 lakh, a TOI report stated.Anjum Ansari, the petitioner, had contested the compensation previously awarded by a tribunal under the Motor Vehicles Act. She argued that her deceased husband, who taught at a private college<\/a> affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi Praudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya, deserved a higher compensation rate. As a permanent employee<\/a> of the college, Ansari asserted the claims court should have calculated the “future prospects” component at a 15% rate rather than the 10% rate it initially used.<\/p>\n

In response, the respondents claimed that only government employees should be considered permanent employees, and thus an employee of a private college could not be treated in the same manner.<\/p>\n

Justice A. K. Paliwal, addressing these contentions, referred to a five-judge bench Supreme Court order in the National Insurance Company vs Pranay Sethi case. <\/p>\n

“If a person is in such a job wherein his salary is increased periodically\/receives annual increment etc., such a person would be treated as being in permanent job,” Justice Paliwal said.<\/p>\n

Justice Paliwal concluded that the claims court had indeed erred in calculating the ‘future prospects’ component at 10% instead of the lawful 15%. Therefore, he ordered an increase of Rs 2,72,260 in the compensation awarded to Anjum Ansari. Consequently, her total compensation now stands at Rs 36.9 lakh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
