SMT. KALPANA NAVNATH BADODE vs COMMISSIONER, KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN (KVS), NEW DELHI AND OTHERS — WP/3756/2026

Case Summary: WP/3756/2026 The High Court dismissed Smt. Kalpana Navnath Badode's petition challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's rejection of her HRA (House Rent Allowance) and guest room reimbursement claims. The court held that under the December 30, 2022 Finance Ministry guidelines, HRA entitlement requires an employee to have formally applied for government residential quarters; the petitioner failed to produce documentary evidence of such an application, and guest house charges cannot substitute for this requirement. The petition was dismissed as lacking merit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
