ALVARO NORONHA FERREIRA vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of equal pay for equal work under the doctrine established in various precedents, specifically noting the lack of comparability between the judicial officers in Delhi and Goa. The Court held that the appellants, who were District Judges in Goa, could not claim parity with their Delhi counterparts due to insufficient evidence supporting their claims of identical duties and responsibilities. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that denied the relief sought by the appellants for the period prior to Goa becoming a separate State.
