Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals challenging the Delhi High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition regarding his pay scale after transfer from CBI to NCRB. The Court held that the appellant's pay should have been aligned with his peers in CBI, as per the principles of equal pay for equal work under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court directed the Union of India to rectify the pay disparity and restore the appellant's rightful pay scale, thereby allowing the appeal in favor of the appellant.
