    Case Summary: WPA/687/2026 - Anita Barman v. State of West Bengal The High Court at Calcutta allowed the petition of retired Assistant Teacher Anita Barman, directing the state to refund Rs. 3,81,496/- deposited in June-July 2025 (just 1-2 months before her August 31, 2025 retirement) plus 8% interest within six weeks. The court held that recovery of allegedly overpaid salary due to erroneous increment fixation was impermissible under Supreme Court precedent (*Rafiq Masih*), which prohibits recovery from employees retiring within one year of the recovery order, as such timing would be harsh and iniquitous. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
