The Secretary All India Shri Shivaji ... vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court examined whether a private society managing technical institutes was obliged to extend revised pay scales to teachers under the 6th Central Pay Commission, as directed by the Bombay High Court. The Court considered the nature of the society's status—private and not under government aid—and the applicability of central pay revisions to private entities. It upheld the High Court's order, emphasizing the importance of fair wages for teachers regardless of the society’s private status. The judgment clarifies the obligations of private educational institutions in implementing pay revisions mandated by central authorities.
