State Of Haryana & Ors vs M.P. Mohla

The Supreme Court ruled that the Haryana Civil Services (Assured Career Progression) Rules, 1998, entitle the respondent to a higher pay scale upon promotion, specifically from Rs. 4100-5300 to Rs. 13500-17250, and subsequently to Rs. 14300-400-18300. The Court held that the rejection of the respondent's claim for a higher pay scale was erroneous, as he had already been drawing a higher pay scale prior to his promotion. The Court directed the authorities to fix the respondent's pay accordingly, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the provisions of the ACP Rules.
