No. 2868 OF 2009 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of January, 2010 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. We do not find any ground to interfere with the judgment of the learned single Judge who has only directed parity in treatment for all managerial staff in regard to payment of DA. If the appellant's financial position does not permit the kind of financial benefits being paid to managerial staff or for that matter even to employees, it is for them to negotiate with unions and to come to an understanding in the matter. W.A. is disposed of with the above observation. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (P.S. GOPINATHAN) Judge. kk
