THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala High Court refused to impose a stay on the new ordinance of the Kerala government which allows it to deduct six days salary of all state government employees for the next five months to tide over the Covid-19 crisis, as it was cash stressed.
Finance Minister Thomas Isaac welcomed the court’s decision and said those who went to the court failed to see the rationale behind our decision and it was meant to create fissures in the society.
Five different state government employees’ organisations had approached the court seeking a stay on the ordinance.
It was on April 30 that Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan signed the new ordinance, ''Disaster and Public Emergency Special Provisions Act''.
