Judgment text excerpt
The State of Uttar Pradesh challenged a High Court judgment directing the fixation of Trade Tax Officers Gr.II in a revised pay scale of Rs. 690-1420/-. The respondents sought parity with other District Level Officers who shared a pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 400-750/- under the Second U.P. Pay Commission's recommendations. The central legal issue concerns whether the government is mandated to provide equal pay scales to different cadres based on identical pre-revised pay scales.
