STATE OF HARYANA vs RAVI BALA .

The Supreme Court ruled that teachers who acquired B.T./E.Ed. qualifications after March 9, 1990, are not entitled to higher pay scales automatically, as per the policy instructions of the Haryana Government. This decision aligns with the precedent set in Wazir Singh vs. State of Haryana, which clarified that only those who obtained qualifications before the specified date are eligible for the higher pay. The Court upheld the government's stance that the earlier circulars became inoperative post the 1990 memo, thus denying the respondents' claims for higher pay.
