The order passed on August 8 by a single bench of Justice Michael Zothankhuma stated that in view of the judgement of the Apex Court in Grah Rakshak, Home Guards Welfare Association (supra) the State Government is directed to pay the Home Guards duty allowance at such rates, a total of which 30 days (a month) comes to the minimum pay to which the police personnel of the State are entitled to. 

Pertinently, in the said judgment, the apex court had noted that as the Home Guards are empowered with the power of police personnel at the time of their duty, the State Government should pay them the duty allowance at such rates, which is equivalent to the minimum 30 days pay of police personnel.
