Union Of India vs Tarit Ranjan Das

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Guwahati High Court affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's order to grant Stenographers in subordinate offices the same pay scale as Stenographers Grade C in the Central Secretariat, citing the need for parity in pay scales under the principles of equality and fair treatment in employment. The Court noted that the Tribunal's review application revealed that relevant facts were not adequately considered by the Central Pay Commission, thus justifying the revised pay scale. The judgment emphasized the importance of equitable pay structures in public service, leading to the conclusion that the employees were entitled to the higher pay scale.
