CAT Orders Reconsideration of Government Housing Allotments for Chandigarh Power Employees
The Chandigarh Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) quashed two UT administration orders that denied government accommodation to employees transferred to Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited (CPDL). The tribunal ruled that these employees cannot be excluded from housing allotment solely due to their transfer under the Chandigarh Electricity Reforms Transfer Scheme, 2025. It directed authorities to reconsider 24 applications based on eligibility and applicable rules, ensuring decisions are reasoned and completed promptly, preferably within six weeks.
