Union Of India (Uoi) vs R.S. Chopra And Ors.

The Union of India challenged a Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) order regarding the regularization of ex-cadre appointments of Director General of Police (DGP) in Karnataka. The dispute centers on whether officers appointed to ex-cadre posts beyond the sanctioned limit under the Indian Police Service (Pay) Rules, 1954, are entitled to the higher pay scale of the post. The Tribunal had directed the Government of India to decide on the regularization of these appointments to grant the associated pay benefits.
