Director Of Elementary Education, ... vs Sri Pramod Kumar Sahoo

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Odisha Administrative Tribunal, which directed the appellant to grant the pay scale of Rs. 1080/- - Rs. 1800/- to the respondent, a Trained Intermediate Arts Teacher. The Court noted that the appellant's counsel had conceded that teachers with intermediate qualifications are entitled to the pay scale for Trained Matric Teachers, thus establishing that the entitlement to pay scales is based on educational qualifications as per the Orissa Revised Scales of Pay Rules. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's order due to the lack of merit in the appellant's claims.
