1 - 10 of 50 (0.68 seconds)State Of Haryana & Ors vs Jasmer Singh & Ors on 7 November, 1996
46. We have consciously not referred to the judgment rendered by this
Court in State of Haryana v. Jasmer Singh25 (by a two-Judge division
bench), in the preceding two paragraphs. We are of the considered view,
that the above judgment, needs to be examined and explained independently.
Learned counsel representing the State government, had placed emphatic
reliance on this judgment. Our analysis is recorded hereinafter:-
Article 16 in Constitution of India [Constitution]
State Of Punjab & Anr vs Surjit Singh & Ors on 4 August, 2009
(i) It is apparent, that this Court in State of Punjab v. Surjit Singh32,
did hold, that the determination rendered in paragraph 55 of the judgment
in the Secretary, State of Karnataka case28, was in exercise of the power
vested in this Court, under Article 142 of the Constitution of India. But
the above observation does not lead, to the conclusion or the inference,
that the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ is not applicable to
temporary employees. In fact, there is a positive take-away for the
temporary employees. The Constitution Bench would, in the above situation,
be deemed to have concluded, that to do complete justice to the cause of
temporary employees, they should be paid the minimum wage of a regular
employee, discharging the same duties. It needs to be noticed, that on the
subject of pay parity, the findings recorded by this Court in the
Secretary, State of Karnataka case28, were limited to the conclusions
recorded in paragraph 55 thereof (which we have dealt with above, while
dealing with the case law, on the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’).
State Of Haryana & Ors vs Charanjit Singh & Ors., Etc. Etc on 5 October, 2005
21. Learned counsel for the appellants have relied on Article
39(d) of the Constitution. Article 39(d) does not mean that all
the teachers working in the school should be equated with the
clerks in BCCL or the Government of Jharkhand for application of
the principle of equal pay for equal work. There should be total
identity between both groups i.e. the teachers of the school on
the one hand and the clerks in BCCL, and as such the teachers
cannot be educated with the clerks of the State Government or of
BCCL. The question of application of Article 39(d) of the
Constitution has recently been interpreted by this Court in
State of Haryana v. Charanjit Singh, (2006) 9 SCC 321, wherein
Their Lordships have put the entire controversy to rest and held
that the principle, 'equal pay for equal work' must satisfy the
test that the incumbents are performing equal and identical work
as discharged by employees against whom the equal pay is
claimed. Their Lordships have reviewed all the cases bearing on
the subject and after a detailed discussion have finally put the
controversy to rest that the persons who claimed the parity
should satisfy the court that the conditions are identical and
equal and same duties are being discharged by them. Though a
number of cases were cited for our consideration but no useful
purpose will be served as in Charanjit Singh all these cases
have been reviewed by this Court. More so, when we have already
held that the appellants are not the employees of BCCL, there is
no question seeking any parity of the pay with that of the
clerks of BCCL.”
Based on the above consideration, this Court recorded its conclusion as
follows:-
Article 142 in Constitution of India [Constitution]
State Of Haryana And Anr vs Tilak Raj And Ors on 14 July, 2003
(iii) In State of Haryana v. Tilak Raj27, this Court took a slightly
different course, while determining a claim for pay parity, raised by daily-
Government Of West Bengal vs Tarun K. Roy And Ors on 18 November, 2003
(vii) In State of Haryana v. Charanjit Singh30, a three-Judge bench of this
Court held, that the decisions rendered by this Court in State of Haryana
v. Jasmer Singh25, State of Haryana v. Tilak Raj27, the Orissa University
of Agriculture & Technology case10, and Government of W.B. v. Tarun K.
Roy11, laid down the correct law. Thereupon, this Court declared, that if
the concerned daily-wage employees could establish, that they were
performing equal work of equal quality, and all other relevant factors were
fulfilled, a direction by a Court to pay such employees equal wages (from
the date of filing the writ petition), would be justified.
State Of Punjab & Ors vs Rajinder Singh And Ors on 10 May, 2016
The decision rendered by the division bench of
the High Court in State of Punjab & Ors. v. Rajinder Singh & Ors. (LPA no.
337 of 2003, decided on 7.1.2009) is also liable to be set aside, and the
same is also hereby set aside.
Secretary, State Of Karnataka And ... vs Umadevi And Others on 10 April, 2006
In State of Karnataka v. Umadevi (3), (2006) 4 SCC 1, this Court
held that the Courts are not expected to issue any direction for
absorption/regularization or permanent continuance of temporary,
contractual, casual, daily-wage or ad hoc employees. This Court held
that such directions issued could not be said to be inconsistent with
the constitutional scheme of public employment. This Court held that
merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is
continued for a time beyond the term of his appointment, he would not
be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent,
merely on the strength of such continuance, if the original
appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as
envisaged by the relevant rules. In view of the law laid down by this
Court, the directions sought for by the appellants cannot be granted.
