DR. K.M. SHARMA vs THE STATE OF CHHATTISGARH .

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's decision which upheld the dismissal of a writ petition for equal pay-scale for Shiksha Karmis. The court found that the appellants, who were appointed under specific recruitment rules, did not have a valid claim for equal pay as they failed to demonstrate entitlement under the applicable regulations. The judgment reinforces the principle that pay scales must align with established rules and conditions of service.
