    The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) allowed three consolidated writ petitions filed by employees of Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agriculture University seeking refunds of amounts recovered by the university. The court held that the petitioners' cases were covered by established precedents—including the Supreme Court's Jogeshwar Sahoo decision—which prohibit recovery from Class III and Class IV service employees where excess payments were made by employers. The court rejected the university's reliance on the Jagdev Singh judgment, finding it inapplicable, and granted the petitions with orders to refund the disputed amounts totaling approximately Rs. 2.62 lakhs with interest.
