Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court quashed the High Court's decision in Writ Petition No. 48/97, which had granted the petitioner a revised pay scale of Rs. 3700-5700, citing discrimination. The Court noted that the Workshop Superintendent's pay scale had been downgraded to Rs. 2200-4000 prior to the High Court's ruling, which was overlooked. The Court held that the matter should be remanded to the High Court for fresh consideration, emphasizing the need for expedited hearing due to the case's age.
