The Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 did not apply where the comparison was not between employees doing the same or similar work and the pre-existing terms were not shown to be sex-based discrimination. Government directions under Section 34 were construed as fixing retirement age at 58 years while preserving existing service arrangements.
