casestatus.in Summary

SUMMARY: The High Court of Himachal Pradesh quashed the Himachal Pradesh State Administrative Tribunal's orders directing the state to grant pay scales of Rs. 1800-3200 to Inspector employees from January 1, 1986, matching Punjab's rates. The court held that no state is legally bound to automatically adopt another state's pay scales—each state has independent authority over its employees' service conditions. The tribunal erred by inferring pay anomalies based merely on similar job designations while ignoring that employees belonged to different states with dissimilar service rules and qualifications. Without express state adoption of Punjab's norms, no enforceable right to Punjab's pay scales accrues, and employees failed to establish conscious equity decisions by Himachal Pradesh.
