Junior Engineer I and he had given an undertaking that on
the basis of stop-gap arrangement, he would not claim any
benefit pertaining to that post. It was held that the
Government in its capacity as a model employer cannot be
permitted to raise such an argument, and the undertaking
which is said to constitute an agreement between the parties
cannot be enforced at law. An agreement that if a person is
promoted to the higher post or put to officiate on that post
or, as in the instant case, a stop-gap arrangement is made to
place him on the higher post, he would not claim higher
salary or other attendant benefits would be contrary to law
and also against public policy. It would, therefore, be
unenforceable in view of Section 23 of the Contract Act,
1872.
Municipal Corporation Of Delhi vs Sh.Sultan Singh & Ors. on 20 April, 2011
99. Therefore, extending the observations made by the Division Bench
of this Court in Sultan Singh (Supra) in terms of the judgment titled
Anand Kumar Srivastava (Supra), this Court is of the considered view
that although the respondent workman is not entitled to the post of
Garden Chaudhary w.e.f. 1st April, 1991 in light of the observations made
in issue no. 1, however, he is duly entitled to the pay scale attached to the
said post for the period for which he performed the duties of Garden
Chaudhary in officiating/ad hoc position, as per the order (Ex. WW 1/1)
of the Deputy Director (Horticulture). The petitioner department is liable
to pay the workman in terms of the prescribed pay scale attached to the
post of Garden Chaudhary.

Selvaraj vs Lt. Governor Of Island, Port Blair And ... on 16 March, 1998
25. The learned counsel for the petitioner has not produced
any guidelines, circulars to show that if the work is available
and the Garden Chaudharies are not appointed, then who is
competent to appoint Malies/Chowkidars on ad hoc basis as
Garden Chaudharies and to take from them the work of
Garden Chaudharies. If on account of exigencies of the work
the head of the department asks Malies/Chowkidars to do the
work of Garden Chaudharies which is now admitted by the
petitioner in the present writ petition impugning the order of
the Tribunal then why the difference of pay of
Mali/chowkidar and Garden Chaudhary be not be paid to
them, has not been satisfactorily explained by the petitioner.
Applying the principle of quantum meruit as was held by the
Supreme Court in case of Selvaraj (Supra) the petitioner has
to pay to the respondents emoluments available in the higher
pay scale during the time they actually worked on the post of
Garden Chaudhary in the facts and circumstances.

Smt. P. Grover vs State Of Haryana And Anr on 18 August, 1983
1983 SCC (L&S) 525 : AIR 1983 SC 1060] , we think it apt
to appreciate the ratio laid down in the said case. A two-
Judge Bench of this Court was dealing with the fact situation
wherein keeping in view the policy decision, the appellant
therein was promoted as an acting District Education
Officer. The order of promotion contained a superadded
condition that she would draw her own pay scale which
apparently meant she would continue to draw her salary on

her pay scale prior to promotion. The claim was put forth by
the appellant that she was entitled to the pay of District
Education Officer and there was no justification for denying
the same to her. A writ petition was filed before the High
Court and the State filed the counter-affidavit contending,
inter alia, that she was promoted to the post of acting
District Education Officer as there was no Class I post and
hence, she was not entitled to be paid the salary of District
Education Officer. Appreciating the fact situation, the Court
held : (SCC p. 293, para 3)
"3. ... We are unable to understand the reason given
in the counter-affidavit. She was promoted to the post
of District Education Officer, a Class I post, on an
acting basis. Our attention was not invited to any rule
which provides that promotion on an acting basis
would not entitle the officer promoted to the pay of the
post. In the absence of any rule justifying such refusal
to pay to an officer promoted to a higher post the
salary of such higher post (the validity of such a rule
would be doubtful if it existed), we must hold that Smt
Grover is entitled to be paid the salary of a District
Education Officer from the date she was promoted to
the post, that is, 19-7-1976, until she retired from
service on 31-8-1980."

said case has to rest on its own facts. We may clearly state
that by an incorporation in the order or merely by giving an
