JudgementView PDF
Summary The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and held that Sub Fire Officers of Punjab State Electricity Board cannot claim pay parity with Head Clerks, Head Clerk-cum-Divisional Accountants, and Internal Auditors merely because they are grouped in the same category (Group XII). The Court found that despite being in the same group, these posts have fundamentally different duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and recruitment modes, making the claim of "equal pay for equal work" inapplicable. The Court emphasized that employees claiming pay parity must prove complete identity between posts and that determining pay equations is an executive function beyond judicial interference. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
