State Of Orissa & Ors vs Gopinath Dash & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Orissa High Court's judgment declaring the rotational allotment policy of quarters for police personnel as illegal was erroneous. The Court emphasized that policy decisions made by the government should not be interfered with lightly unless there are compelling reasons. The Court reinstated the policy, affirming that it was in the interest of the employees and aimed at ensuring fair access to accommodation, thus allowing the appeal against the High Court's decision.
