    Case Summary: National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Tarun Kumar Ghosh (FMA 368/1987) The High Court of Calcutta dismissed National Insurance Co.'s appeal and upheld the lower court's decision that Tarun Kumar Ghosh, an Inspector seeking promotion to Assistant Administrative Officer, should be evaluated under lower premium procurement requirements. Although Ghosh was posted in Chandernagore (receiving City Compensatory Allowance), the court held he fell under "A" class city standards requiring Rs. 6 lakhs minimum premium (not the Rs. 8 lakhs for the four metro cities: Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, and New Delhi). The court rejected the insurance company's argument that urban agglomeration status justified stricter requirements, finding the promotion policy unambiguous in limiting Serial (A) category to explicitly named metropolitan cities only.
