BIHAR STATE HOUSING BOARD vs DEO SUNDER PASWAN . — SLP(C) No. 10013/2004

Case Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Bihar State Housing Board's Special Leave Petition on 16/01/2009. The core issue was whether respondent Deo Sunder Paswan, who officiated as Chief Engineer for approximately two years, was entitled only to officiating allowance or full salary of the higher post. The Court declined to interfere under Article 136, finding the amount involved too small, but expressly left the substantive issue open for future consideration.
