TRISHNA KAUNDAL vs STATE OF PUNJAB . — C.A. No. 2877/2014

Case Summary: Trishna Kaundal v. State of Punjab (C.A. No. 002877/2014) On 25 February 2014, the Supreme Court granted leave and allowed Trishna Kaundal's appeal against the High Court's order. The appellant, a teacher, sought higher pay on par with government school teachers based on her higher qualifications. The Court found the High Court's judgment contradicted its own precedent in State of Punjab v. Narain Dass (1998), which had already accepted this plea. Accordingly, the Court set aside the High Court's order and allowed the appellant's writ petition, directing that she be entitled to the higher pay scale on par with government school teachers.
