Union Of India vs Kishan K. Sharma & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a writ of mandamus should be issued to direct the Union of India to pay salaries to High Court Officers at a specific scale. The Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision that the Personal Assistants and Junior Stenographers of the High Court were entitled to a pay scale of Rs.1640-2900, as their qualifications and responsibilities were comparable to those of their counterparts in the Central Government. The Court emphasized the need for parity in pay scales based on the nature of duties performed, thereby affirming the High Court's ruling.
