UNION OF INDIA vs SHRI SURESH CHANDRA BASKEY .

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision that employees of the Government-Mint, who are allottees of Government accommodation and not receiving house rent allowance, are entitled to compute their overtime allowance by including the house rent allowance they would have received if not allotted accommodation. This ruling is based on Section 59 of the Factories Act, 1948, affirming that all employees classified as workmen are entitled to extra wages for overtime. The Court directed the Union of India to implement the Tribunal's order within 60 days, thereby affirming the rights of the employees to similar benefits as previously granted in OA 13 of 1987.
