    Case Summary: WP(C) 139/2024 Court Decision: The High Court of Meghalaya upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order, confirming that Ramesh Chandra (now represented by his widow Smti. Veena Dhoundiyal) is entitled to three financial upgradations under the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) Scheme: 1st upgradation at ₹6,600 grade pay (effective 01.09.2008), 2nd at ₹7,600 (effective 01.09.2008), and 3rd at ₹8,700 (effective 14.11.2014). The court rejected the Union of India's argument that the 1998 appointment as Hindi Officer was a promotion, finding instead that pay scale mergers under the 6th CPC made both posts equivalent, thus entitling the respondent to MACP benefits calculated from his initial service date.
