Orders
The court allowed the writ petition and directed the respondents to refund Rs. 84,222/- that was wrongfully deducted from the petitioner's husband's retirement benefits as "overdrawal." The court held that recovery from a retired employee (or their surviving spouse) is impermissible under established precedent, particularly where such recovery would be harsh or iniquitous. The full refund with 8% annual interest from June 10, 2024, must be paid within two months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
