Salary increment for Judiciary employees stalled due to budget constraints: DJA

Department of Judicial Administration (DJA) said in High Court that the outstanding salary increments for judicial employees have not been paid due to a lack of funds in the state budget.

The unpaid salary increases date back to the period between 2017 and 2023. Despite a 2023 ruling by the Employment Tribunal acknowledging that judicial employees were entitled to the salary increments, the tribunal did not mandate payment, citing no funds allocated for the purpose in the state budget.
