STATE OF ORISSA vs ASWINI KUMAR DASH

The Supreme Court upheld the Orissa High Court's decision that teachers in aided non-Government colleges are entitled to revised pay scales as per the University Grants Commission's recommendations. The Court struck down the restrictive note in the Government Resolution dated 6th November 1990, which limited higher pay scales to teachers appointed before April 1, 1989. The Court emphasized that the pay revision should apply to all eligible teachers, thereby affirming the High Court's ruling and allowing the appeals of the teachers.
