The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, affirming that the Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya and Sanskrit Institute at Nabha are not entitled to be treated as colleges for the purpose of pay scales. The Court emphasized that the institutions do not meet the criteria set forth by the relevant educational statutes and thus the teachers cannot claim salaries equivalent to college lecturers. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the status quo regarding the institutions' classification and the teachers' pay scales.
