Union Of India (Uoi) vs Kishan K. Sharma And Ors.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a writ of mandamus should be issued to the Union of India for the payment of salaries to High Court Officers in a specific pay scale. The Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision to grant the pay scale of Rs. 1640-2900/- to Personal Assistants and Junior Stenographers, noting that their qualifications and responsibilities exceed 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 order.
