Gurdas Singh & Ors. Etc vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of Letters Patent Appeals by teachers of Sanskrit Institutes, affirming that these institutions are not equivalent to colleges and thus do not warrant the same pay scales as college lecturers. The Court noted that the qualifications and pay scales are determined by the Punjabi University, and the teachers' claims for higher pay were not substantiated under the relevant educational statutes. The judgment reinforced the distinction between school-level and college-level institutions under the applicable educational framework.
