Headnote | Constitution of India, 1950: Articles 14 and 16: Civil Services Pay parity-Scientific and Technical Officers, class I. Telecommunication Research Centre-Direct recruits through ,Union Public Service Commission-Denied special pay admissible to-Departmental Transferred Officers Class I-Held discriminatory and, ultra vires. The recruitment to Class I posts in the Telecommunication Research Centre of the Posts and Telegraphs Department is made partly by direct recruitment through the Union Public Service Commission and partly through transfer of Group A and Group B Field Officers. The officers brought into the Centre on transfer were being paid special pay in addition to their pay. The direct recruits were denied this privilege. The petitioners 2 to 22, members of the first petitioner-Association, who belong to the direct recruits category and are working in the Centre on the same posts, and possess same qualifications, discharge same functions and duties as the transferred officers, and are in the same pay scales, assailed the denial of special pay to them as. discriminatory and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. Their claim was contested by the Department and the discrimination was sought to be justified on the ground that the direct recruits were specifically recruited to the Centre for a limited purpose and their capability, as against transferred officers, selected by the Union Public Service Commission after rigorous competitive examination, of taking over a complete group and directing them to fruitful research was doubtful. |
