STATE OF KARNATAKA vs MANGALORE UNI.NON-TEACH.EMP.ASSO..

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Karnataka High Court which allowed the Writ Petitions challenging the State Government's order to discontinue House Rent Allowance (HRA) and City Compensatory Allowance (CCA) for employees of Mangalore University from 1.4.1994. The Court found that the allowances were improperly ceased despite the employees residing in a location that warranted such benefits under prior government orders. The Court ruled that the recovery of excess payments made post-1.4.1994 was unjustified, thereby affirming the employees' rights to the allowances.
