Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the employees of the British India Corporation and its units are entitled to the revised IDA pay scale as per the order dated 19.7.1995 and the precedent set in S.L.P.(C) No. 16732/1997. The Court held that denying these benefits violates Article 14 of the Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law. Consequently, the Court directed the Central Government to compute and pay the arrears from 1st January 1999 within eight weeks, ensuring compliance with the earlier orders.
