Hon'ble Shri Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra Order On Board 27/11/2017
1. The petitioners would challenge the impugned action of recovery of the excess amount paid to them by taking recourse to the order passed by this Court in WPS No.5515/2012 (Laxminath Sakariya & Others Vs. State of Chhattisgarh & Another), on 2.3.2017.
2. Learned State Counsel would not dispute the propositions of law laid down in the said case. However, it is argued that the said judgment has not referred to the latest Supreme Court decision in the matter of High Court of Punjab and Haryana and Others Vs. Jagdev Singh1.
3. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has laid down broad guidelines in respect 1 (2016) 14 SCC 267 14 of the situations under which the recovery of the amount already paid to an employee would be impermissible in law. The relevant portion of judgment in the matter of State of Punjab Vs. Rafiq Masih2 is reproduced hereunder:-
"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 (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 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."

4. While considering the five situations in which the Supreme Court has held the recovery to be impermissible in law, the Supreme Court in its 2 (2015) 4 SCC 334 15 latest decision in the matter of Jagdev Singh (Supra) has dealt with the Proposition (ii) to observe thus in para-11:-
"11. The principle enunciated in Proposition (ii) above cannot apply to a situation such as in the present case. In the present case, the officer to whom the payment was made in the first instance was clearly placed on notice that any payment found to have been made in excess would be required to be refunded. The officer furnished an undertaking while opting for the revised pay scale. He is bound by the undertaking."
5. Thus in Jagdev Singh (Supra), the Proposition (i) in which all the petitioners in the present writ petitions would be categorised or covered has neither been dealt with nor the proposition has been diluted. It would therefore necessary follow that Jagdev Singh (Supra) has in fact approved the Proposition (i) in the matter of Rafiq Masih (Supra).
6. In view of the above, even if Jagdev Singh (Supra) is applied in the present case, the petitioners' case would be covered by the Proposition
(i) in the matter of Rafiq Masih (Supra), which has been relied by this Court while allowing the similar writ petition in the matter of Laxminath Sakariya, referred to above.
7. Accordingly, all the Writ Petitions are allowed in the same terms as in the matter of Laxminath Sakariya, referred to above.
