CHANDIGARGH ADMN. vs RAJNI VALI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision mandating the Chandigarh Administration to pay equal salaries to lecturers in Dev Samaj Girls Senior Secondary School, citing the principle of 'equal pay for equal work' under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court noted that the condition of no grant-in-aid for additional staff was not a valid justification for salary disparity. The Court directed that the expenses incurred be shared between the Chandigarh Administration and the school management in a 95%-5% ratio.
