    Case Summary: The Gauhati High Court directed the State of Assam to grant Grade-IV casual employee Monmohan Gowala, engaged since 2004 at Balichang SHC Biswanath, the benefit of minimum pay scale effective 01.08.2017 in accordance with the Division Bench decision in *State of Assam v. Upen Das*. Although the respondents contended that casual engagement does not entitle pay scale benefits, the court found that the petitioner's uncontested employment for over 20 years warranted minimum pay scale protection, directing implementation within three months subject to necessary verification. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
