Authority: High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh
Order Date: 16 July 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: NARENDER SINGH, a government employee with 40% locomotive disability (rounded to 50% by Armed Forces Tribunal order dated 11 March 2017).
- Respondent: Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd (HVPN) Ltd.
- Petition sought two reliefs: (i) extension of service up to age 60 for a 40% physically disabled employee, and (ii) grant of conveyance allowance and arrears with interest under Rule 22 of the Haryana Civil Services (Allowances to Government Employees) Rules, 2016.
- Counsel for petitioner argued that conveyance allowance was denied despite disability certification; first prayer (service extension) was already rendered infructuous.
- Respondent’s counsel raised no objection to the limited prayer concerning conveyance allowance.
Final Outcome
- The Court, without commenting on merits, disposes of the petition with a direction that if the petitioner files a representation within four weeks, the respondents must decide it expeditiously, taking note of the submitted documents.
- Upon favorable finding, the respondents shall grant the conveyance allowance forthwith.
- If the decision is adverse, the order must contain reasons, and the petitioner remains free to seek further legal redress.
