    Case Summary: WPA/923/2026 The High Court at Calcutta allowed the writ petition and directed the State of West Bengal to refund Rs. 47,717/- with 8% interest to retired Group-D school staff Santi Aich Jonaki Saha. The court held that the recovery direction issued after the petitioner's retirement on 31st March 2023 was impermissible under Supreme Court precedent, as the overpayment period (2008-2019) exceeded five years and recovery was demanded post-retirement, both grounds rendering the recovery illegal.
