Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants, who were teachers in Haryana and acquired B.T./B.ED qualifications after their appointment, were not entitled to higher pay scales as they were not appointed against the posts requiring such qualifications. The Court distinguished the case from Chaman Lal vs. State of Haryana (1987) 3 SCC 113, stating that the relevant policy instructions from the Haryana Government dated March 9, 1990 superseded earlier directives. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
