HON'BLE JUSTICE BIVAS PATTANAYAK

The High Court at Calcutta allowed the writ petition and directed refund of Rs. 58,048/- with 8% per annum interest from January 17, 2002, holding that deducting alleged overdrawm pay from an employee's pension after retirement is impermissible under law as per the Supreme Court's Rafiq Masih precedent. The court rejected the State's delay argument, finding that relief could be granted despite the 24-year delay since no third-party rights were affected. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
