MAHENDRA KUMAR SHARMA vs STATE OF U.P. . — C.A. No. 4048/2007

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Mahendra Kumar Sharma's appeal challenging his exclusion from revised pay scales for X-Ray Technicians. Sharma, who joined as an X-Ray Technician in 1966 without formal High School qualifications, was denied the 1984 and 1989 pay scale revisions (Rs.430-685 and Rs.1350-2200 respectively) because he lacked prescribed qualifications. The Court upheld the Tribunal and High Court decisions, finding that absorption into regular service did not entitle him to revised pay scales reserved for qualified personnel. However, the Court directed the competent authority to pay any outstanding retiral dues within two months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
