The entire controversy raised in these review petitions hovers around the issue whether the civilian employees in Assam Rifles are entitled to exemption from licence fee at par with the combatant staff/employees of Assam Rifles, who are entitled to the benefit of rent free accommodation. The Tribunal decided the matter in favour of the civilian employees in light of the judgment and order dated 12.07.2013 rendered in O.A. No.311/2010.

Mrs. A. Gayan, learned Central Government Counsel representing the Page No.# 10/10

review petitioners apprise the Court as to whether the said order of the Tribunal was challenged by the Union of India by filing any writ petition etc. List these matters after two weeks.
