Government Of Andhra Pradesh vs P. Hari Hara Prasad & Ors

The respondents, employees of the High Court and subordinate courts of Andhra Pradesh, sought parity of pay with employees of the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat Service based on specific Government Orders. The High Court had previously ruled in favor of the employees, granting them scales of pay equivalent to those of graduate LDCs, Typists, and Steno-typists in the Secretariat. The Supreme Court was called upon to determine the validity of this parity claim under the relevant pay-commission guidelines.
