    Case Summary: CWP No. 1240 of 2023 Dhani Ram v. State of H.P. & Ors. A superannuated Assistant Engineer challenged the State's denial of higher pay scale on grounds that he failed the departmental examination. The court found prima facie merit in the petitioner's contention that a 2007 notification exempted officers aged 55+ from passing the departmental examination for higher scale eligibility. The petition was adjourned to 20.04.2026 for the State to obtain further instructions, particularly regarding RTI information showing similarly-situated officers were granted higher pay scale without passing the examination. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
