Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging the orders of the Administrative Tribunal regarding the pay scale of fitters. The Court held that the classification and fitment of employees into pay scales is a matter of executive policy and should be determined by Expert Committees unless there is clear evidence of arbitrariness or invidious discrimination, which was not established in this case. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's decision to refrain from intervening in the matter of pay scale adjustments.
