STATE OF U.P. vs RAMASHRAYA YADAV

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court which granted regular pay scales to respondents appointed as Investigators-cum-Computer despite their temporary status. The Court emphasized the principle of 'equal pay for equal work' under Article 14 of the Constitution, noting that the respondents performed similar duties as regular employees. The appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the respondents were entitled to the same salary as their regular counterparts.
