State Of U.P. And Anr. vs U.P. Polytechnic Diploma Shikshak ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's application of the precedent set in State of H.P. v. H.P. State Recognised and Aided Schools Managing Committee, affirming that Assistant Lecturers in Government aided Polytechnics are entitled to the same pay scales as their counterparts in Government Polytechnics. However, the Court modified the effective date for the implementation of these scales and selection grades, ruling that they should be granted from the date of filing of the Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 36338 of 1995, rather than the date specified by the High Court. The appeal was allowed in part with costs awarded.
