RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT,JODHPUR TH.REGIS. vs BABU LAL ARORA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant the respondent the benefit of the third selection grade under the circular dated 25.1.1992, despite the appellant's argument that the respondent had already received three promotions. The Court emphasized the principles of justice and fair play, noting that juniors in the same cadre were receiving higher pay scales, thus establishing that entitlement to selection grades is not negated by prior promotions if the criteria set forth in the circular are met. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, thereby allowing the respondent's claim for the pay scale of Rs.2000-3200.
