SAHIB SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision rejecting the appellants' writ petitions regarding the withdrawal of higher pay scales for turners, fitters, and electricians in the Irrigation Department. The Court found that the qualifications and duties of these positions in the Irrigation Department were distinct from those in other departments, justifying the withdrawal. However, it ruled that the excess payments made from 1997 to 2000 should not be recovered, as they were made in good faith without misrepresentation by the appellants.
