Case History
Case Summary: Dr. Manwinder Singh v. State of Punjab (CA 2381-2382/2001) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and directed that Dr. Manwinder Singh and other Research Officers be granted identical pay scales with Executive Engineers from 1.1.1986 (not 1.1.1994 as the State Government had offered). The appellants were entitled to arrears for the three years preceding the 2001 petition filing, with all other benefits (including pension) effective from 1.1.1986. No costs awarded. Key Issue: Whether similarly situated Punjab Irrigation Department employees should be discriminated against in pay parity implementation, given the Court's prior 1998 ruling in Dr. Dharam Paul's case mandating equal pay scales from 1.1.1986.
