UT Employees Conditionally Agree to Administration Proposal

The longstanding deadlock surrounding the Self-Financing Employee Housing Scheme of 2008 is on the brink of resolution, as employees have "conditionally agreed" to a proposal presented by the UT administration in 2021. In a recent application submitted to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the employees articulated their willingness to consider the proposal.

In the case of Gurmukh v/s Union of India, the petitioners expressed their viewpoint, "Taking into account the substantial duration that has passed since the initial filing of the petition and the fact that over time, several allottees have retired, with some having sadly passed away, on May 18, the petitioners presented the proposal that the scheme mentioned in the affidavit dated March 3, 2022, which was previously deemed unacceptable, could be implemented on a provisional basis, pending the final resolution of the writ petitions."

The petitioners further elaborated on their rationale for conditionally accepting the proposal, stating, "The primary objective behind this conditional acceptance is to safeguard against potential future escalations and rising construction costs, which could have adverse consequences for both parties involved." Consequently, on May 18, the Honourable Court directed the counsel for the Chandigarh administration to seek instructions regarding the feasibility of such a scheme.

This development marks a significant step towards resolving the protracted dispute over the Self-Financing Employee Housing Scheme, offering hope for a mutually agreeable solution to benefit the concerned employees and administration alike.
