U.O.I. vs DINESHAN K.K.

The Supreme Court upheld the Gauhati High Court's order directing the Union of India to implement the re-designation of the rank of Havildar (Radio Mechanic) to Warrant Officer and to grant the corresponding pay scale as per the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Border Security Force (BSF). The Court emphasized that the Ministry of Home Affairs had previously acknowledged the need for equal pay structures among central paramilitary forces, thus establishing the principle of equal pay for equal work under service law. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
