T. BALAKRISHNAN vs UNION OF INDIA — C.A. No. 7059/1996

The Supreme Court dismissed T. Balakrishnan's appeal against pay reduction in his Junior Engineer (Grade I) position. The Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order that the 1991 agreement between the CPWD Junior Engineers Association and Government—which waived statutory rights to pay fixation under FR 22-C—was binding on the appellant despite his subsequent promotion to Assistant Engineer, since the agreement addressed his prior status as a Junior Engineer. The Court also confirmed that the appellant failed to prove he discharged additional duties warranting higher pay fixation under FR 22-C.
