GOVT. OF A.P. vs M. PANDURANG .

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding the claim for equal pay under Article 39(A) of the Constitution, affirming that parity in pay cannot be claimed by seniors if juniors are drawing higher pay due to selection grade or longer service. The Court referenced its earlier decision in State of A.P. & Ors. vs. G. Sreenuasa Rao & Ors. [(1989) 2 SCC 290], establishing that such claims are not applicable in this context. The appeal against the Tribunal's order was dismissed as the respondents were not entitled to the relief sought.
