Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the High Court's orders dismissing a writ petition and subsequent review petitions concerning pay fixation under service law. The Court held that the relief sought by both appellants was valid and should not have been dismissed based on a misinterpretation of the written statement by the respondents. The Court emphasized that both appellants were similarly situated and entitled to equal pay as per the principle of equal pay for equal work, thus allowing the appeals and directing the High Court to reconsider the matter.
