SECY.TO GOVT.OF A.P. vs P. ESWAR REDDY

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of junior lecturers to compensatory allowance during holidays and leave periods as per G.O.M.S. No. 105 dated April 3, 1974. The Court held that since junior lecturers do not perform official duties during these periods, they are not entitled to the compensatory allowance. The majority decision of the Tribunal granting such allowance was set aside, and the appeals were allowed without costs.
