UNION OF INDIA vs B.BANERJEE

The Supreme Court held that the respondent, a medically decategorised Driver working as a Crew Controller, is entitled to the Allowance in Lieu of Kilometerage (ALK) despite the Central Administrative Tribunal's ruling. The Court found that the respondent remained in the cadre of Driver, which includes the Crew Controller position, and thus should receive ALK as per the Railway Board Circulars. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision in favor of the respondent.
