N.D.M.C. vs PAN SINGH .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of pay scale discrimination among Meter Readers under the New Delhi Municipal Act, 1994. The Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's award, which directed that the pay scale of Meter Readers be revised to match that of 17 senior-most Meter Readers who had previously worked as Shift In-charges, emphasizing that the differential treatment constituted arbitrariness and misuse of legal principles. The Court held that all Meter Readers in the same class are entitled to equal pay, thereby enforcing the principle of non-discrimination in employment.
