State Of Haryaka And Anr vs Haryana Civil Secretariat Personal ...

The case involves a petition by the Haryana Civil Secretariat Personal Staff Association seeking a writ of mandamus to grant Personal Assistants a specific pay scale and special pay consistent with the Central Secretariat. The petitioners argued that since the State of Haryana adopted the recommendations of the Fourth Central Pay Commission, the same benefits should be extended to them. The Supreme Court was called upon to determine if the State is mandated to provide pay parity based on the adoption of Central Pay Commission recommendations.
