VINOD SHARMA vs DIR.OF EDUCATION (BASIC)U.P. — C.A. No. 1699/1998

Summary of Vinod Sharma v. Director of Education (Basic) U.P. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and directed payment of salary arrears to primary section teachers from the date the Payment of Salary Act, 1978 was made applicable to their institution—specifically from when junior high school teachers at the same institution began receiving payment under the Act. While the appellants claimed arrears from 1975, the Court held they could not predate the 1978 Act's applicability and rejected the State's objection that the Act applied only to junior high schools, finding the institution operated as a single unit.
