The aforesaid O.A. had been filed by the respondent herein, praying for the following reliefs:

"1. To quash and set aside the impugned Reduction of Basic Pay, Non-Payment of HRA and Ration Money and Recovery of Rs.6000/- per month with all consequential benefits.

2. To direct the respondents to restore to the applicant subsistence allowance of 75% of Basic Pay w.e.f. Jan, 2018 and make payment of 75% of Basic Pay w.e.f. Jan, 2018 with all consequential benefits.

5.To award costs in favor of the applicant and pass any order or orders, which this Hon'ble Tribunal may deem just & equitable in the facts & circumstances of the case.

Strangely, the learned Tribunal in its Impugned Order did not discuss the reliefs which have been claimed by the respondent or the basis of making such claims, but instead, the learned Tribunal simply observed that the Subsistence Allowance is to include the House Rent Allowance, Ration Money, Transport Allowance etc. 4.

We are of the considered view that the said Order of the learned Tribunal is non-speaking in nature and, therefore, not sustainable in law. Accordingly, the same is set aside.

adjudicated upon by the learned Tribunal, we restore the aforesaid O.A., back to its original number before the learned Tribunal. The parties shall appear before the learned Tribunal on 19th December, 2025.

6.

The learned Tribunal shall consider the O.A. afresh, strictly in accordance with law, and keeping in view the submissions made by the respondent in the O.A. and the reliefs claimed therein. 7.

In view of the fact that the O.A. was filed by the respondent as far back as in the year 2018, we request the learned Tribunal to dispose of the same expeditiously and, preferably, within a period of six months from its first listing.

8.

Needless to state, we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the respondent's claim.

The petition is disposed of in the above terms. NAVIN CHAWLA, J MADHU JAIN, J NOVEMBER 29, 2025/ys/Av/Yg The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
