Rajendra Prasad vs The State Bank Of India on 17 February, 2024
19. While on the other hand, Mr. Rajesh Kumar,
learned counsel appearing for the respondent Bank has
W.P.(S) No.1804 of 2016
With
W.P.(S) No.2229 of 2016
[9]
contended by referring to the judgment rendered by the
Hon'ble Apex Court in State of Punjab and Ors. vs. Rafiq
Masih (White Washer) and Ors. (supra) wherein in the
context of the master and employee relationship that
judgment was passed. But, herein, the appellant-Bank was
having no master employee relationship with the writ
petitioner rather the Bank has acted only as an agent on
the option being rendered for the family pension and the
writ petitioner, in course thereof, has been paid excess
amount to his entitlement, therefore, the decision taken by
the respondent bank for recovery of the excess paid amount
cannot be said to suffer from an error.
