B. Radhakrishnan vs The State Of Tamil Nadu & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court which set aside the order of the learned Single Judge directing the stepping up of basic pay for the appellants, Mr. B. Radhakrishnan and Mr. K. Padmaraj, under Fundamental Rule 22B. The Court ruled that the appellants could not claim parity in pay with their juniors, Eswaran and others, as they did not belong to the same cadre, thus affirming the High Court's interpretation of the relevant rules. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the status quo regarding the pay structure.
