Dir.,Cent.Marine Fisheries ... vs A.Kanakkan & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of pay scales for employees of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), specifically regarding the classification and pay of the respondents who were appointed as Computers. The Court held that the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision to grant the respondents a higher pay scale was justified, as it was based on prior judicial pronouncements and the absence of new insights. The Court emphasized that the respondents were entitled to the revised pay scales from their respective dates of appointment, thus affirming the Tribunal's order for implementation within 60 days.
