Learned from how other judgments cite this one, in their text or in the official Supreme Court Reports' lists of cases they refer to: each is cited this way by at least two judgments, and at least twice as often as any other citation to this judgment in that report. We hold no commercial reporter's text, only these citation strings.
Cited by
We found no other Supreme Court judgment we hold that cites this one.
Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.

p. 106, margin C
It is contend~d for the appellants that as per the directions, issued by the High Court in Writ Petition No. 1173/62, dated March 4, 1965, the High Court had struct down the rules holding that there c~ot be any distinction between the Talatis and Village Accountants. They cannot be clubbed together and they constitute different eategories and that, therefore, they are entitled to separate scales of pay. When they claimed the scale of pay on the basis of revised pay scales at Rs. 90-200 instead of Rs. 80-145, the Tribunal l;tas committed illegality in not considering the distinction and that therefore, the ~ppellants are not entitled to the benefit of the payment of scale of pay of Rs. 90-200 as per 1970 Rules w.el. January 1, 1970.
p. 106, margin C
It would appear that the Government made a distinction between Talatis and Village Accountants. who possessed SSLC qualification and those who are non-SSLC candidates. For the candidates who are having SSLC qualification, pay scale of Rs. 90-200 has been provided for. Admittedly, the appellants are not in that category as they are non-SSLC can- · didates. The Government, therefore, thought it expedient to make a distinction between qualified and unqualified persons and prescribed different scales of pay. Hence, we do not find any invidious discriinination made between the two categories to club together and grant them same scale of pay of Rs. 90-200. However, since the appellants have already been paid the scale of pay of Rs. 90-200 while they were in service and are retired now, it would be appropriate that the Government may not recover
