Punjab State Electricity Board & Ors vs Gurmail Singh

The Supreme Court ruled that the Punjab State Electricity Board, under Section 79(c) of the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948, has the authority to frame regulations regarding employee service conditions. The Court held that the promotional scale of pay for employees must be based on their total years of service in the relevant cadre, as outlined in the Board's circulars. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the Board's decision to exclude certain promoted employees from receiving the revised scale of pay.
