Govt. Of India & Ors vs B.Anil Kumar & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court regarding the entitlement of respondents to the merger of special pay of Rs.75/- with their basic pay in the revised pay-scale of Rs.1600-2660 as per the Fourth Pay Commission recommendations. The Court clarified that the special pay should be considered in the revised pay scales recommended by the Fifth Pay Commission, thus ensuring the respondents receive appropriate salary adjustments and arrears. The judgment reinforces the principle that special pay must be factored into revised pay structures following pay commission recommendations.
