CHIEF ADMN.CUM JT.SEC.GOVT.OF INDIA &ANR vs DIPAK CHANDRA DAS

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against a Central Administrative Tribunal order regarding the pay fixation of a Divisional Accountant. The Court upheld the Tribunal's finding that the Divisional Accountant holds a higher status than a Senior Accountant but modified the Tribunal's directive to fix a specific pay scale of Rs. 2000-3200 from January 1, 1986. Instead, the Court directed the Government to determine an appropriate pay scale within six months, emphasizing the need for proper consideration of the status difference established by the Tribunal.
