RAMESH KUMAR vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition seeking revised pay scales, citing Section 11 CPC and Order 2 Rule 2 CPC, as the claim had already been adjudicated in previous litigation. The Court noted that the resolution passed by the University on 20.08.1997 could not be implemented due to the absence of prior approval from the State Government, as required under Section 9F and 11A of the Maharshi Dayanand University Act, 1975. The Court concluded that the appellant was not entitled to relief due to the principle of res judicata and the delay in filing the writ petition.
