State Of M.P. & Ors vs Yogendra Shrivastava

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of Non-Practicing Allowance (NPA) for Medical Officers under the Madhya Pradesh Employees State Insurance Service Recruitment Rules, 1981. The Court held that the NPA should be calculated as 25% of the basic pay as specified in the Rules, rather than a fixed lump sum as previously implemented by the State Government. The Court directed the State to revise the NPA payments accordingly, ensuring compliance with the statutory provisions outlined in the Rules.
