    The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed the writ petition, upholding a 2017 recovery order against retired educator Dr. Harihar Kulkarni for ₹1,34,083 in allegedly excess payments. The court found the recovery legally justified under applicable rules: ₹68,060 for excess salary (self-authorized pay revision without Governing Body approval), ₹70,050 for EPF interest (employer-deposited liability), and ₹4,63,969 for excess pension (violation of Rule 157 MCS Pension Rules requiring pension deduction for re-employed pensioners).
