Punjab State Electricity Board And Anr. vs Thana Singh And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court, affirming that the Sub Fire Officers of the Punjab State Electricity Board are entitled to the same pay scale as other employees in Group XII, citing Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Court established that the principle of equal pay for equal work applies, as there is no significant difference in qualifications or responsibilities between the Sub Fire Officers and other posts within the same group. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the High Court's ruling on pay parity.
