K. T. Veerappa & Ors vs State Of Karnataka & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the fixation of pay scales for non-teaching staff at the University of Mysore, which were claimed to be arbitrary and discriminatory under Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the University must implement the recommendations of the Muddappa Committee and revise the pay scales effective from January 1, 1977, ensuring parity with state government employees. The judgment emphasized the need for rationality and fairness in pay fixation, ultimately directing the University to comply with the constitutional mandates.
