CALCUTTA MUNICIPAL CORPN. vs SUJIT BARAN MUKHERJEE

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of pay scale adjustments under Regulation 34-A of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation Regulations. The Court held that the special pay received by Shankar Bose, due to his arduous duties, was rightly merged into his revised pay scale, and thus, Tapan Paul and others were not entitled to have their pay stepped up to match his. The Court dismissed the appeals challenging the High Court's order regarding the withdrawal of the stepping up of pay, affirming that the prior relief granted was not binding due to the specific provisions of the Regulations.
