UNION OF INDIA vs S.B. VOHRA .

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, which found that the Assistant Registrars' pay scale of Rs. 3000-4500 was justified based on recommendations from a committee and the Chief Justice's approval. The Court emphasized that the posts of Assistant Registrar and other equivalent positions were not merged and maintained distinct promotional pathways, thereby affirming the High Court's ruling.
