State Of Karnataka And Ors. vs N. Parameshwarappa And Ors.

The case concerns the implementation of revised 1986 UGC pay scales for teachers in first grade (composite) colleges in Karnataka. The primary legal dispute revolves around whether teachers in colleges offering both pre-university and degree courses are entitled to the same pay scale benefits as those in exclusive degree colleges. The Court examines the validity of a government circular that attempted to restrict these benefits based on the institutional structure of the colleges.
