Punjab and Haryana High Court Rules on Teacher Increments and Legal Assistant Wages
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that retired university teachers who earned PhDs during service cannot be denied two advance increments for choosing the Merit Promotion Scheme over the Career Advancement Scheme, as the benefit did not exist when they opted for MPS. Separately, the court directed Haryana to pay contractual Legal Assistants a uniform monthly wage of Rs 45,000 regardless of hiring method, emphasizing equal pay for equal work despite previous wage protections. Both rulings address fairness in employee benefits and remuneration.
