State Of Punjab & Ors vs Rafiq Masih (White Washer) on 18 December, 2014
"8. Therefore, the ratio of judgment rendered in case of
State of Punjab & Ors. vs. Rafiq Masih (supra) would be
applicable. To conclude, it is observed that the undertaking
given by an employee cannot be used uniformly when the
recovery of dues is done after his retirement or otherwise
there cannot be a straight jacket formula for such recovery.
Rather, the execution of undertaking, the time when it was
executed would be relevant factors to evaluate whether the
State can be allowed to act upon on such undertaking. In the
facts of this case, the undertaking given by the petitioner in
the year 2017 cannot be allowed to stand to recover the dues
for the payment made from 1986 to 2013."
