State Of U.P. And Ors vs Dr. Om Prakash Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court affirming the State Public Service Tribunal's ruling that the respondent was entitled to pay protection in the revised pay scale of Rs.2200-4000 from 1.1.1986, despite the closure of HORTICO. The Court emphasized that the closure of the corporation did not negate the respondent's entitlement to the revised pay scale, as the pay revision was not contingent on the corporation's operational status. The appeal by the State of U.P. was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's order.
