UNION OF INDIA vs NARENDRA GUPTA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the Union of India's writ petition challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's order granting training allowance to respondents under the D.O.P.T. letter dated 31.3.1987. The Court found that the respondents, as civilian employees of the Defence Research and Development Services, were entitled to the allowance despite the appellants' claim that they were permanent faculty members. The Court emphasized that the appellants failed to provide service rules to substantiate their claims, affirming the Tribunal's findings as legally sound and not perverse.
