Jagdish Parwani vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of pay protection for a government employee who transitioned from a state government service to a central government position. The Court held that the appellant was not entitled to pay protection under the notifications issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, specifically the notification dated 28.02.1992, which limited pay protection to employees joining after 01.02.1990. The Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, affirming the rejection of the appellant's claims for higher pay based on previous employment.
