Case History
Case Summary: Union of India v. Manu Dev Arya (C.A. 6519/1999) The Supreme Court allowed the Union of India's appeal, overturning the High Court's judgment that had granted the respondent equal Non-Practicing Allowance with doctors and physicians. The Court held that the government's 1991 policy limiting enhanced allowances to employees in the Rs.2000-3500/- pay scale was a valid policy decision that did not constitute discrimination, as Research Assistants and physicians formed separate classes and no legal right to the allowance exists.
