NEW DELHI MUNICIPAL COUNCIL vs P.P.GARG

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of pay fixation for employees of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) who were promoted to the post of Assistant Engineer (E & M). The Court held that the respondents, initially recruited in the Auto Workshop (part of the Electrical Wing), were entitled to the Shiv Shankar Committee pay-scale despite their promotion to a post in the Civil Engineering Wing. The Court overturned the High Court's decision that denied this entitlement, reaffirming that the respondents' roles remained connected to the Electrical Wing, thus upholding their original pay-scale rights.
