Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the policy decision of the Orissa State Government regarding the rotational allotment of quarters to police personnel was valid and not contrary to the principles of justness and fair play. The Court emphasized that the High Court's interference with the executive policy was unwarranted, as the allotment was based on a contractual agreement and aimed at addressing accommodation shortages. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's judgment that deemed the policy illegal.
