Krishna Kumar Deepak And Other vs M/O Finance on 10 September, 2025
7. This Court in Paluru Ramakrishnaiah & Ors. vs. Union
of India & Anr. [(1989) 2 SCR 92 at page 109] considered the
direction issued by the High Court and upheld that there has to
be "no pay for no work", i.e., a person will not be entitled to any
pay and allowance during the period for which he did not
perform the duties of higher post, although after due
consideration, he was given a proper place in the gradation list
having been deemed to be promoted to the higher post with
effect from the date his junior was promoted. He will be entitled
only to step up the scale of pay retrospectively from the deemed
date but is not entitled to the payment of arrears of the
salary.
