GROUP GENERAL MANAGER (PROJECTS).O.N.G.C vs A.M. SAIYED

The Supreme Court addressed the Leave Fare Assistance (LFA) Scheme, originally introduced in 1969, and its modifications over the years, particularly regarding eligibility for employees posted in Assam. The Court held that the appellant's rejection of the respondent's claim for LFA encashment for the block year 1982-85 was unjustified, as the High Court had previously directed a reconsideration of the claim. The Court emphasized the need for fair treatment in the application of the LFA Scheme, ultimately ruling in favor of the respondent's entitlement to the benefits sought.
