DA Case New Delhi/IBNS: The Supreme Court on Tuesday postponed the hearing on the case pertaining to the West Bengal government employees' demand for a hike in Dearness Allowance (DA), media reports said.
The court will hear the case next on Apr 24.
This is the sixth time the hearing has been postponed in the top court.
The Calcutta High Court had in May 2022 directed the West Bengal government to give 31 percent DA to the employees.
But the state government moved the top court challenging the order.
The government claimed it won't be possible for it to pay the huge sum of money at the moment.
Meanwhile, a section of government employees, who were protesting against the Mamata Banerjee government at Shahid Minar in Kolkata for over 80 days, have now shifted their protest site to Delhi.
The protesters have now camped at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
