Summary of C.A. No. 005353/2008 (Union of India v. E.M. Desai) The Supreme Court dismissed the Union of India's appeals challenging orders granting second financial upgradation (pay scale Rs. 6500-10,500) to Laboratory Assistants at the Central Water and Power Research Station. The Court found the appeals liable to dismissal because the High Court had disposed of the matter based on agreed submissions by counsel regarding the effective date (9th August 1999), and the appellants were estopped from subsequently challenging the order on merits. The Union was directed to pay the due amount to respondents within three months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
