H. Nanjundaiah vs Aswathnarayana Rao And Anr.

The Supreme Court addressed a civil appeal concerning the recovery of construction costs from the salary of a retired technical officer who had previously obstructed government construction on his allotted quarter. The Court set aside the High Court's order directing salary deductions for construction costs, holding that the appellant should not be placed in a worse position than before the trial court. The Court upheld the remainder of the High Court's decree and ordered the appellant to vacate the premises by a specified date, contingent upon filing an undertaking.
