casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Satish Kumar's petition for equal pay as a Pumpset Operator at Jalandhar Improvement Trust. The Court held that since Kumar lacked the minimum prescribed qualifications (Matriculation with I.T.I. certificate) for the position, the doctrine of equal pay for equal work under Article 39(a) did not apply. The Court reasoned that "unequals cannot be made equals" and that the Trust Chairman's appointment of Kumar without basic qualifications was illegal, precluding any entitlement to equal pay. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
