Union Of India & Ors vs Narendra Gupta & Ors

The Bombay High Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision granting training allowance to respondents under the D.O.P.T. letter dated 31.3.1987, rejecting the Union of India's claim that respondents were permanent faculty members and thus ineligible. The Court emphasized that the respondents were recruited as scientists under DRDO rules and not as permanent faculty of I.A.T., affirming the Tribunal's findings as legally sound. The Court dismissed the writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, confirming the entitlement to the allowance from specified dates.
