State Of Bihar & Ors vs Bihar State +2 Lecturers Associations & ...

The Supreme Court held that the classification of lecturers into trained and untrained for the purpose of pay scales violated Article 14 of the Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law. The Court found that the distinction made by the State Government was arbitrary and unreasonable, as the Fitment Appellate Committee recommended uniform pay scales for both categories. Consequently, the Court upheld the Division Bench's decision to grant uniform pay scales to all +2 Lecturers, thereby setting aside the earlier ruling of the single Judge.
