State Of U.P. And Anr. vs U.P. Excise Subordinate O.M. ...

The Allahabad High Court ruled that the Excise Clerks in subordinate offices are entitled to the same pay scale as their counterparts in the Head Office, as conceded by the State. The Court also found that the seniority list prepared by the departmental authorities was based on incorrect assumptions, violating Rule 21 of the Uttar Pradesh Excise Department Ministerial Service Rules, 1980, and Rule 5 of the Uttar Pradesh Government Servants Seniority Rules, 1991. Consequently, the Court directed the redrawing of the seniority list in accordance with the correct legal provisions.
