THE STATE OF UP THR THE CHIEF SECRETARY vs ISRAR AHMAD .

The Supreme Court allowed the application for setting aside abatement and condoned the delay in filing the application for substitution. The Court upheld the direction of the learned Single Judge to pay the revised pay-scale but vacated the order on interest, stating there was no justification for granting interest on the revised pay-scale. The appeal was disposed of with a direction to pay the emoluments in the revised pay-scale within three months if not already granted.
