UNION OF INDIA Vs. S BALIAR SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) DELAY condoned.

(2.) LEAVE granted.

(3.) THE respondent was accordingly granted retirement benefits. He has, however, been denied complimentary railway passes on retirement on the ground that his service with the railways was of less than 20 years and hence he was not eligible for complimentary raiway passes on retirement. THE respondent moved the Central Administrative Tribunal by filing O.A. No. 530 of 1996 claiming a right to complimentary railway passes. His application has been allowed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Bombay Bench. Hence, the Union of India through the General Manager, Central Railway, has filed the present appeal.
