NARENDER KUMAR vs DHARAM DUTT

The Supreme Court held that the NDMC must extend the benefits of the S.S. Committee's pay scales to various categories of employees, including duplicating machine operators and pump drivers, as they perform similar duties to those already granted the benefits. The Court found no valid justification for discrimination against these employees, affirming their entitlement based on the principle of equality. However, it ruled that employees of the Junior Navyug School and trained telephone operators do not qualify for these benefits due to their distinct cadre and job responsibilities. The NDMC was directed to implement the payment of arrears and future benefits within three months.
