Orders
The court upheld ECL's calculation of penal rent and electricity charges based on the 2021 circular (using market rates) rather than the 1993 circular (fixed Rs.10/sqm), as the employee overstayed in her official quarter for over two years post-retirement. The court ordered ECL to pay the appellant outstanding terminal dues including gratuity difference, bonuses, leave encashment, and arrears with 8% simple interest, with penal rent and electricity charges deducted therefrom; payment must be completed within one month or interest increases to 11%. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
