Asha Saxena vs State Of M.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, a Lecturer, was entitled to two advance increments based on a 1974 Circular issued by the Madhya Pradesh Government, which was not adequately considered by the High Court. The Court found that the High Court's reliance on a subsequent Circular from 1975, which purportedly withdrew the earlier benefit, was insufficiently substantiated. The Court directed the respondents to implement the Tribunal's order granting the advance increments and payment of arrears, thereby upholding the Tribunal's decision and reversing the High Court's ruling.
