Tripura High Court rules that the 2011 amendment to Rule 15 of the Tripura Government Vehicles Drivers Service Rules, 1979, elevates driver posts to Group-C status, entitling employees to the corresponding pay scale for three years preceding the writ filing. The judgment overrides conflicting administrative orders, reinforcing statutory compliance over executive discretion in pay scale classification.
