In Brief
A teacher with intermediate qualification was granted the pay scale of a trained teacher based on a concession by State counsel. The Supreme Court held that higher qualification alone does not entitle a teacher to a trained teacher's pay scale without prescribed training. The Court ruled that concessions made by counsel lacking statutory foundation do not bind the government. The Court allowed the appeal and held that pay classifications must follow prescribed rules, not informal concessions, emphasizing that training, not qualification, determines the appropriate pay scale.
