Director General Crpf vs Janardan Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order granting Special (Duty) Allowance to CRPF personnel posted in the North Eastern Region, citing the Office Memorandum dated 14.12.1983 and subsequent clarifications. The Court emphasized that the allowance is applicable to personnel actually serving in the North East, rejecting the appellant's argument regarding headquarters location. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision to sanction the allowance for the period of actual service in the region.
