Bindu Sehgal vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the denial of financial upgradation under the Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme to the appellant, who argued that her stagnation in the post of Hindi Officer was unjust compared to similarly situated officers in other departments. The Court held that the High Court's dismissal of her writ petition was justified, emphasizing that the ACP Scheme's intent was not to create disparities in pay scales among officers in different departments. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that granting the higher pay scale would lead to anomalies in departmental hierarchy.
