The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed the state government to provide travel and mandatory allowances to approximately 23,000 Gram Rozgar Sahayaks upon transfer. The court also mandated the formulation of a policy on transfer and house rent allowance within six months.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has granted significant relief to approximately 23,000 Gram Rozgar Sahayaks (Village Employment Assistants) across the state. The bench ordered that these officials must be provided with travel allowances and other mandatory benefits whenever they are transferred to new locations.
In its ruling, the court emphasized the necessity of financial support for employees undergoing mandatory transfers. The directive ensures that the costs associated with relocation are covered by the state government, addressing long-standing grievances regarding the lack of such provisions.
Additionally, the High Court issued a strict timeline for the state administration to formulate a comprehensive policy regarding transfers and House Rent Allowance (HRA). The government is required to draft and implement this policy within six months of the judgment.
This decision is expected to impact the service conditions of a large number of grassroots-level employees in Madhya Pradesh, ensuring greater transparency and fairness in their transfer processes and financial entitlements.
