M/S Hotel Tramboo Continental vs Home Department Civil Secretariat Govt ...

The Supreme Court directed the Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir to determine the appropriate rent payable for the occupation of rooms by the Government from 1997 to 2008, as there was a dispute regarding the rates applicable to different departments. The Court noted that while the Police Department paid Rs.200 per day per room, the rationale for differing rates for the Estate Department was unclear. The decision must be made within four months, with provisions for adjustments based on the Chief Secretary's findings.
