The Chairman Railway Board & Anr vs T. Vittal Rao & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the circular dated 11.4.2001, which withdrew the earlier circular dated 2.8.1984, entitled Train Superintendents to overtime allowance for the period from 2.8.1984 to 11.4.2001. The Court found that the Central Administrative Tribunal correctly determined the respondents' entitlement to 97 hours of overtime allowance every fortnight based on their actual working hours. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision and the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition.
