3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has canvassed his arguments by
submitting that the executive order/letter dated 02.02.2013 appears to
have overriding effect for the Bihar State Employees (House Rent
Allowance) Rules, 1980 which has been promulgated under Article
309 of the Constitution of India and the Rule-4(b)(ii) interalia
provides for grant of House Rent Allowance to the Government
servants whose place of duties is in the proximity of a qualified city.
Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that interpretation
5
given in letter dated 02.02.2013 is not legally tenable since the Central
Government is paying House Rent Allowance at the same rate which
is applicable for employee working in the classified city and the
employees who are working within 8 KM from the municipal area.
Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the respondents
seems to have misconstrued the Clause-15(d) of resolution dated
28.02.2009 vide Annexure-6 to the writ application and Clause-15(d)
of resolution clearly speaks that House Rent Allowance would be
applicable to the State Government Employees. Learned counsel for
the petitioner further submits that the action of the respondent by
issuing letter dated 02.02.2013 smacks of illegality and malafide
exercise of power without affording any opportunity of show-cause.
Learned counsel for the petitioner to strengthen his argument has
referred to the decision (2001) 5 SCC 482 (Dr. Rajinder Singh Vs.
State of Punjab And Others) at paragraph-7, (2003) 8 SCC 204
(Punit Rai Vs. Dinesh Chaudhary) at paragraph-45, (2003) 4 SCC
289 (Federation of Railway Officers Association And Others Vs.
Union of India) at paragraph-12.
