Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which dismissed the appeal of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited regarding the promotion and pay scale adjustments for Junior Engineers. The court found that the measures taken by the PSEB to address stagnation in employee promotions were in line with the recommendations of the Pay Revision Committee. Consequently, the court affirmed the legality of the office orders issued by the PSEB for time-bound promotions and pay scales.
