CHANDRA MOHAN SINGH Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) CORE question that arises for consideration in all these writ petitions is whether a rule can be framed under the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India to whittle down the employee's vested right which has become crystallized?

(2.) ALL the petitions have common cause of action since they are aggrieved by the issuance of Notification dated June 8, 2001 and August 7, 1998 whereby their existing pay scale of Rs. 6500-10500 has been reduced to Rs. 5500-9000 w. e. f. July 1, 1998.

(3.) I have heard the rival submissions and carefully scanned the impugned Notifications.
