THESE PETITIONS, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY,
ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.G.PANDIT
COMMON ORAL ORDER
In this batch of writ petitions, the grievances of the petitioners are common and prayers sought by the petitioners are also common. Hence, all the writ petitions are heard together and disposed of by this common order, with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties.
2. The petitioners, retired Professors or Professors in service of the Mysore and Bangalore Universities are before this Court, questioning the orders of recovery of certain amounts said to be excess Dearness Allowance (for short "DA") and House Rent Allowance (for short "HRA")

NC: 2025:KHC:6993 WP No. 26147 of 2024 C/W WP No. 19707 of 2021 WP No. 22810 of 2022 AND 16 OTHERS paid to them for the period between 01.01.2016 to 16.03.2019.
3. Heard learned counsel Sri.Ramananda A.D., for petitioners, Sri.V.Shivareddy, learned Additional Government Advocate for respondent Nos.1 and 2 and learned counsel Sri.T.P.Rajendra Kumar Sungay for respondent-Mysore University and Sri.B.Pramod, learned counsel for respondent-Bangalore University in all the above petitions. Perused the writ petition papers.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that, on revision of 7th pay commission, the petitioners were entitled for revised UGC pay scales. Accordingly, DA and HRA on the revised scale were paid to the petitioners. The Government without hearing the petitioners or any other person, directed the Universities to recover certain amounts said to be excess DA and HRA paid to the petitioners and others during the period from 01.01.2016 to 16.03.2019. Based on the said communication, the

Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners would be legally entitled for the said DA and HRA and action is initiated for recovery without even issuing show-cause notices. Learned counsel further submits that communication dated 18.07.2024 is issued by the State Government not to recover excess DA and HRA paid from the retired employees and contrary to the same, recovery orders are being passed. Learned counsel for the petitioners, placed reliance on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in STATE OF PUNJAB AND OTHERS v/s RAFIQ MASIH (WHITE WASHER) AND OTHERS reported in (2015) 4 SCC 334 to contend that no recovery could be effected from a retired employee or a government servant who is to retire within a period of one year.
5. Per contra, Sri.T.P.Rajendra Kumar Sungay and Sri.B.Pramod, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the
- 96 -
NC: 2025:KHC:6993 WP No. 26147 of 2024 C/W WP No. 19707 of 2021 WP No. 22810 of 2022 AND 16 OTHERS Universities submit that the petitioners were paid excess DA and HRA for the period from 01.01.2016 to 16.03.2019 and as such, in pursuance of the communication of the first respondent-State, recovery actions are taken by issuing the impugned communications. Learned counsel would submit that the communication dated 18.07.2024 is not addressed to the University and he submits that the same would have no application. He further submits that the petitioners are paid certain amounts to which, they were not entitled to and hence, the Authorities are at liberty to recover the same. Hence, he prays not to interfere with the recovery action.
6. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the entire writ petition papers, the following points would arise for consideration:
(1) Whether the action of recovery by the respondent-Universities is justified against retired teaching staff i.e., Professors?
- 97 -
NC: 2025:KHC:6993 WP No. 26147 of 2024 C/W WP No. 19707 of 2021 WP No. 22810 of 2022 AND 16 OTHERS (2) Whether the action of recovery could be sustained against the teaching staff/ Professors who are in service?
7. Answer to the above points would be in the negative and positive respectively for the following reasons. The impugned communication of recovery indicates that the recovery is towards excess amount said to have been paid towards DA and HRA for the period from 01.01.2016 to 16.03.2019. Admittedly, no notice whatsoever is issued calling upon the petitioners as to why excess amount of DA and HRA said to have been paid to them should not be recovered. Recovery from the salary or pension would result in civil consequences. When it results in civil consequences, minimum requirement before effecting such recovery is to issue show-cause notice, calling upon the petitioners to show cause as to why recovery should not be effects for the reasons to be recorded.

8. The Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of RAFIQ MASIH (supra) on consideration of earlier decisions has concluded that recovery from a retired employee or employee who is to retire within a year is iniquitous and unreasonable. Paragraph 18 of the said judgment reads as follows:
"18. It is not possible to postulate all situations of hardship, which would govern employees on the issue of recovery, where payments have mistakenly been made by the employer, in excess of their entitlement. Be that as it may, based on the decisions referred to herein above, we may, as a ready reference, summarise the following few situations, wherein recoveries by the employers, would be impermissible in law:
(i) Recovery from employees belonging to Class-III and Class-IV service (or Group 'C' and Group 'D' service).
(ii) Recovery from retired employees, or employees who are due to retire within one year, of the order of recovery.

(iii) Recovery from employees, when the excess payment has been made for a period in excess of five years, before the order of recovery is issued.
(iv) Recovery in cases where an employee has wrongfully been required to discharge duties of a higher post, and has been paid accordingly, even though he should have rightfully been required to work against an inferior post.
(v) In any other case, where the Court arrives at the conclusion, that recovery if made from the employee, would be iniquitous or harsh or arbitrary to such an extent, as would far outweigh the equitable balance of the employer's right to recover."
9. Moreover, the Government in its communication dated 18.07.2024 in pursuance of RAFIQ MASIH (supra) case has issued guidelines in the matter of recovery of amounts and it has particularly directed the authorities not to recover the excess pay or excess amount paid from the retired employees. In the above circumstances, recovery

NC: 2025:KHC:6993 WP No. 26147 of 2024 C/W WP No. 19707 of 2021 WP No. 22810 of 2022 AND 16 OTHERS of excess amounts said to have been paid, from the retired teaching staff/Professors of the Universities is impermissible.
10. Insofar as teaching staff/Professors who are in service, recovery is permissible, if the University establishes that the petitioners who are in service were paid excess DA or HRA to which they were not entitled, in terms of relevant Government Orders on revision of UGC pay scales. Admittedly, no notice whatsoever is issued, calling upon the petitioners to explain as to why recovery should not be effected. In that, recovery under impugned communications is in violation of principles of natural justice. Hence, the teaching staffs/Professors who are in service would be entitled for a notice indicating the reasons and the amounts to be recovered, calling upon them to explain as to why recovery should not be effected. On receipt of reply from the concerned, it is for the Authorities to take appropriate decision either to recover or not to recover.
