The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant's application for proper fixation of pay by the Tribunal as time barred was erroneous. The Court established that the appellant's grievance constituted a continuing wrong, giving rise to a recurring cause of action each month he received a salary based on incorrect pay fixation.
