BINDU SEHGAL vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition for financial upgradation under the Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme, stating that the appellant was not entitled to the higher pay scale of Rs.10000-15200 as it would create anomalies in the departmental hierarchy. The Court emphasized that the ACP Scheme does not aim to equate pay scales across different departments. The decision reinforces the principle that financial upgradation must adhere to the established hierarchy and intent of the ACP Scheme, as outlined in relevant government policies.
