U.T.Administration,Chandigarh & Ors vs Manju Mathur & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the respondents, Senior Dietician and Dietician under the Chandigarh Administration, are entitled to pay scales equivalent to their counterparts in Punjab, as per the Conditions of Service of Union Territory of Chandigarh Employees Rules, 1992, which allows for such parity. The Court emphasized that the principle of 'equal pay for equal work' applies, and the previous dismissal by the Central Administrative Tribunal was incorrect. Consequently, the Court directed the appellants to implement the revised pay scales as ordered by the High Court.
