G.M. SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY vs BENULAL MUKHERJEE .

The Supreme Court held that the Central Administrative Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction in directing the payment of higher scales to typists, as the Fifth Pay Commission did not recommend such payments. The Court clarified that it is within the Government's discretion to accept or reject Pay Commission recommendations, and the decision to grant relief from a specific date does not imply discrimination. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, affirming the dismissal of the original applications before the Tribunal.
