MOHD. SWALEH vs U O I

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, stating that the appellant, a Deputy Registrar, was not entitled to additional remuneration for holding the current charge of the post of Registrar as he was not formally appointed to the higher post as required under F.R. 49. The Court clarified that delegation of powers under Rule 28(3) of the Central Administrative Tribunal (Procedure) Rules, 1987 does not equate to formal appointment. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's ruling.
