MYSORE STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATIONBANGALORE vs H. VENKATARAMANAPPA

The Supreme Court held that the respondent's claim for seniority as an Assistant Store Keeper under the new pay scale was not valid as the post he held prior to the industrial truce did not equate to the new designation. The Court emphasized that the respondent had accepted the new pay structure and could not claim a higher post without a regular promotion. The appeal was allowed, overturning the Karnataka High Court's decision, as the respondent's grievance was deemed illusory and based on temporary officiation rather than substantive entitlement.
