HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KSHETARPAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMIT MAHAJAN O R D E R % 21.05.2026

¶481

This is batch of 110 cases wherein identical prayers have been made. The Petitioners in all the writ petitions are serving in Central Industrial Security Force. They are posted in different cities. They pray for issuance of a Writ in the nature of Mandamus thereby directing the Respondents to grant additional 5% HRA from the respective dates as given in the chart which shall form part of this order as mark ‘C-1’.

¶482

In fact, the Petitioners claim that the matter in issue is squarely covered in their favour by a judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court in the case of Jaspal Singh Mann v. Union of India & Ors. : 2009 ILR 1 Delhi 165.

¶483

Thereafter, there has been a series of judgments passed by this Court to the same effect.

¶491

It is evident that this objection was considered by Division Bench of this Court in the case of Jaspal Singh Mann v. Union of India & Ors. ( supra ) and other judgments. Hence, it is not open to the Respondents to take this objection once again.

¶492

In view of the aforesaid, the present writ petitions are allowed in terms of judgment passed by Division Bench of this Court in the case of Jaspal Singh Mann v. Union of India & Ors. ( supra ).

¶493
