The Court emphasized that the exclusion was based on the specific service rules governing the pay scales of MCS and MPS officers, thereby establishing that the State has the authority to determine pay scales based on service classifications. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the status quo regarding the pay scales of the engineering officers.
