Concession In Law Made By Lawyer Not Binding On Client: SC [Read Judgment]

The Supreme Court has observed that concession by a counsel as to matters of law before a Court is not binding on the client. The bench comprising Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Justice Hemant Gupta observed: The concession given by the learned State Counsel before the Tribunal was a concession in law and contrary to the statutory rules. The rules provide for a specific Grade of Pay, therefore, the concession given by the learned State Counsel before the Tribunal is not binding on the appellant. Dismissing the OA, by setting aside the Tribunal and High Court orders, the bench said that distinction between Trained Matric Teacher and Untrained Matric Teacher was not appreciated in this case. In the absence of such training, the respondent cannot be said to be a Trained Matric Teacher entitled to the pay scale meant for such teachers.
