For the Board : Mr. Anil Kumar Sinha, Advocate. ----------- 2. 06.11.2009, Petitioner is a class IV employee of the Board. He was orally instructed by the authorities of the Board to guard the quarter situated in Sector 3, STSA-2/20, and he is guarding the said quarter with effect from January,2008 and with effect from January, 2008, rent of the said quarter at the enhanced rate of Rs. 1400/- per month is being deducted from his salary. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that such deduction of rent of Rs. 1400/-per month from his salary is wholly without jurisdiction as the quarter has not been allotted to the petitioner. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, State and the Board, I direct the Secretary of the Board to examine the records of the Board and if the quarter situated in Sector 3, STSA-2/20 has not been allocated to the petitioner he should ensure the refund of the amount deducted from his salary in lieu of rent of the said quarter. Let the petitioner file a fresh representation annexing a copy - 2 - of this order within one week which should be disposed of by the Secretary as early as possible in any case within one month from the date of its receipt. This application is, accordingly, disposed of with the aforesaid directions. U.K. (V.N.Sinha,J)
