As per case facts, part-time contractual instructors/teachers in U.P. were initially paid a fixed honorarium of seven thousand per month. Despite recommendations and approvals for significant increases, including one to ... seventeen thousand per month for a specific year by the Project Approval Board, their honorarium was often reverted to lower amounts. The High Court, in an impugned judgment, limited the enhanced payment to one year. The question arose as to whether these instructors/teachers are entitled to a periodic revision of their honorarium or must continue indefinitely with the original fixed amount. Finally, the Supreme Court held that the instructors/teachers are entitled to a periodic revision of their honorarium. They are to be paid seventeen thousand per month from the specific year onwards until further revision. The Court deemed their continued employment as permanent, noting that stagnant honorarium is unfair and constitutes a form of forced labor. The State Government bears the primary responsibility for payment, with a right to recover contributions from the Central Government.
