For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. P.P. Dutta, Advocate
For the Respondent(s) : Ms. B. Sharma, CGC
BEFORE
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH
ORDER
Date : 28.01.2026
Issue notice making it returnable on 11.05.2026.
2. Ms. B. Sharma, the learned CGC accepts notice on behalf of
the respondent Nos. 1 to 8.
Page No.# 7/8
3. Extra copies of the writ petition be served upon her during
the course of the day.
4. The petitioners herein are aggrieved on the basis of the
communication dated 22.05.2025 issued by the respondent
No.5 whereby steps have been taken to make recovery of the
risk and hardship allowances which have already been paid to
the petitioners.
5. It is the case of the petitioners that the area wherein the
petitioners performed their duties for which the risk and
hardship allowance were paid fell within the area wherein the
said allowance is permissible, and as such, the action on the
part of the respondents to make recovery is completely
unwarranted.
6. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners
further submitted that it is also inequitable on the part of the
respondents to make such a recovery after the passage of so
many years.
7. The respondents are directed to bring on record their stand
by filing an affidavit on or before 30.04.2026.
8. Liberty is given to the petitioners to file reply, if any, on or
before 08.05.2026.
9. This Court further taking into account the submissions so
Page No.# 8/8
made as well as the materials on record coupled with the fact
that interim directions have been passed by the learned
Coordinate Benches of this Court in similar matters, directs that
the Respondent Authorities shall not take any coercive action
against the petitioners on the basis of the communication dated
22.05.2025 till the next date.
10. List accordingly.
