SONARWA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY LTD v RUGINA

The Supreme Court held that the application for review due to injustice lacked merit because the applicant failed to appeal certain grounds within the legal time limit and did not demonstrate any injustice in the Court of Appeal's judgment. The Court confirmed that the respondent was entitled to equal pay for equal work as Branch Manager, that his salary claims were not prescribed due to continuous claims, and that damages and other awards were properly calculated based on net salary. The employer failed to justify salary disparities among employees at the same level.
