Kuppachi, a Group-C Junior Assistant, directing recovery of Rs. 72,220 from her salary in installments. Applying the Supreme Court's ruling in *State of Punjab v. Rafiq Masih*, the court held that recovery from Group-C employees is impermissible in law. The court maintained the salary re-fixation but cancelled the recovery order and directed refund of any amounts already deducted.
