U.T. CHANDIGARH vs KRISHAN BHANDARI

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision that the respondent, a Science Supervisor in Chandigarh, is entitled to the pay scale of Rs. 1200-1700, equivalent to that of District Science Supervisors in Punjab, based on the principle of 'equal pay for equal work'. The Court found that the respondent performed similar duties to those of District Science Supervisors, despite the Chandigarh Administration's argument regarding differing qualifications and job responsibilities. The Court ruled in favor of the respondent, affirming the Tribunal's order for salary adjustment.
