P. Singaravelan And Ors.Etc. Etc. vs District Collector, Tiruppur And Dt And ...

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the grant of Selection Grade and Special Grade pay scales to drivers in Tamil Nadu, as per G.O. Ms. No. 162. The Court held that the High Court's decision to deny these pay scales was erroneous, given the consistent judicial precedent favoring similar claims. The Court emphasized that previous dismissals of Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) did not constitute affirmations of the lower court's decisions, thus allowing the appeals and reinstating the pay scales as per the government order.
