Case History
Case Summary: W.P.(C) No. 122 of 1998 Note: The document provided is W.P.(C) 122/1998, not W.P.(C) 302/1998 as specified in your request. Decision The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed by IDPL officers and supervisors seeking pay revision and interim relief installments. The Court held that public sector employees cannot claim pay revision when their employer lacks financial capacity, as the employer's economic viability is a crucial consideration in wage determination. Since IDPL was a sick unit registered with BIFR incurring massive losses (Rs. 69.80 crore loss against projected profit), and the petitioners had already opted for Voluntary Retirement Scheme, the Court found no merit in granting enhanced pay scales.
