RAN SINGH MALIK vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, appointed as Deputy Director (Feed and Fodder) in Haryana Veterinary Service Class I, was not entitled to the same pay scale as other Class I posts due to the non-veterinary nature of his position. The Court emphasized that the appointment letter clearly indicated the appellant's post was non-veterinary and carried a lower pay scale. Consequently, the Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition and affirmed the lower court's ruling, stating that the appellant could not claim parity with other Class I officers.
