The Supreme Court addressed the issue of pay parity between Head Clerks and Internal Auditors under the Punjab State Electricity Board, invoking Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the pay scales established by the Board were arbitrary and violated the principle of equality, as both positions had historically maintained parity. The Court directed the Board to rectify the pay disparity and ensure equal pay for equal work, thereby upholding the respondents' claims for equal pay scales.
