The petitioner, a retired employee of the Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, approached the Court concerning the rate of House Rent Allowance paid during his service. The Court noted that the Institute's location was crucial for the allowance rate and directed the Respondent to examine the matter and pass a speaking order since it involved public funds.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to Respondent No. 1 to examine the matter regarding the Institute's location and pass a speaking order; recovery will follow if HRA was wrongly paid.
