    Summary: The Gauhati High Court granted petitioner Syed Shah Kamal Shah, an Assistant Teacher appointed in 1991, two financial upgradations under the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS). The court held that the 1993 pay scale correction from intermediate to graduate scale was merely a rectification of the initial administrative error, not a promotion, and therefore did not bar him from MACPS benefits after 24 years of service without regular promotions. The state was directed to implement the upgradations within 60 days. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
