INDER SINGH & ORS. vs VYAS MUNI MISHRA & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by directing the merger of the posts of Ganna Gram Sewaks and Cane Supervisors, as this is an executive act under the U.P. Cane Development (Fourth Class) Service Rules, 1972. The Court clarified that the principle of equal pay for equal work under Article 39(d) of the Constitution applies only when the work performed by two groups is equal. Since the duties of Ganna Gram Sewaks and Cane Supervisors are distinct, the Court overturned the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the State has the authority to determine the necessity of merging posts.
