Where a State government employee's entitlement to parity of pay-scales with Central government counterparts is not established in law, the claim for such parity must fail. However, in exercise of equitable jurisdiction and following the principle against unjust enrichment by the State, excess payments already disbursed to retired employees need not be recovered. As analysed on casestatus.in, the State retains the authority to re-fix pay-scales and pension prospectively, subject to representations from aggrieved employees being decided in accordance with law.
