flag Supreme Court upholds salary hike for Delhi law researchers, requiring retroactive payments from 2022.

flag The Supreme Court has upheld a Delhi High Court order requiring retrospective payment of a salary hike for law researchers, affirming a monthly increase from ₹65,000 to ₹80,000 effective October 1, 2022. flag The Delhi government had challenged the decision, arguing it imposed an unbudgeted financial burden of ₹9.45 crore and violated constitutional procedures by allowing the judiciary to set retrospective pay dates without executive approval. flag The Supreme Court rejected these claims, ruling the High Court’s directive was legally sound and within its authority. flag The ruling confirms researchers’ right to arrears dating back to 2022, reinforcing judicial oversight in fair compensation for judicial staff.
