Sahib Ram vs The State Of Haryana And Others on 19 September, 1994
"27. The last question to be considered is whether
relief should be granted against the recovery of the
excess payments made on account of the wrong
interpretation/understanding of the circular dated 7-6-
1999. This Court has consistently granted relief
against recovery of excess wrong payment of
emoluments/allowances from an employee, if the
following conditions are fulfilled (vide Sahib Ram v.
