    Case Summary: CWP/14420/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed the writ petition and set aside the April 2, 2026 order rejecting the petitioner's claim for non-recovery of loan amounts from his pension. The court held that Section 39 of the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961 authorizes recovery only from salary/wages during employment, not from pension of retired employees. The respondent-Corporation was directed to repay all amounts recovered from the petitioner's pension with 6% annual interest within three months. Key Reasoning: The petitioner, a retired Lower Division Clerk, was recovering loans taken decades earlier (2003-2013). The court found recovery from pension after retirement was legally untenable and cited its precedent (Naresh v. State of Punjab) establishing that cooperative society deductions apply only to active employment salaries, not retiral benefits. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
