STATE OF U.P. vs OM PRAKASH SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court affirming the State Public Service Tribunal's ruling regarding pay protection for a retrenched employee of HORTICO. The Court found that the employee was entitled to pay protection under the revised pay scale effective from 1.1.1986, despite the closure of HORTICO. The Court clarified that the lack of actual adoption of the revised pay scale by HORTICO did not negate the employee's entitlement to the benefits of the revised scale as per the government order.
