Judgment text excerpt
The Court examined a contempt petition alleging deliberate violation of its orders regarding the pay scales of Laboratory Assistants. The petitioners sought scales equivalent to Physical Instructors, arguing that the respondents acted unfairly and perversely over a period of 15 years. The Court reiterated that fairness is the fundamental methodology of governmental working and that judicial intervention is warranted in its absence.
