    Summary: The Calcutta High Court allowed the writ petition and directed CSTC to refund Rs. 2,68,846 that was deducted from the employee's gratuity for alleged overpayment during 2002-2018. The court held that recovery from Group-D employees and for amounts overpaid beyond five years is impermissible under the Supreme Court's ruling in State of Punjab v. Rafiq Masih. Since the employee received the excess payment for 16 years and belonged to Group-D service, the recovery was unlawful. The refund must be paid within eight weeks with 6% simple interest.
