• the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’ was first considered in
Kishori Mohanlal Bakshi case where the SCI declared it incapable of
being enforced in the court of law.
However, it received due recognition only in 1987 through Mackinnon
Mackenzie’s case which involved a claim for equal remuneration for lady and
male stenographers.

An interesting question arose before the SCI on whether the applicability of the doctrine
of‘equal pay for equal work’ should be extended to persons working under the same
employer or not? The Court in its wisdom held in Jaipal case that for the applicability of
the doctrine, the concerned group of persons seeking equality must be working under the
same employer
