Smt. Swati Nisha Bhargav v. State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Chhattisgarh allowed a writ petition seeking the benefit of a revised pay-scale for the petitioner, a government lecturer. The court relied on a previous batch judgment that quashed a specific government circular, directing the respondents to grant the pay-scheme benefit upon completion of 8 years of service. No order as to costs was passed.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner shall be entitled to obtain the benefit of the revised pay-scale on completion of 8 years service by including services rendered on a lower or same post.
