CWP(T) No. 16249/2008 31.03.2011 Present: Ms. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Vinod Thakur, Advocate for the respondents In terms of impugned order dated 14.11.2007 (Annexure A-2), respondents are seeking to recover dearness relief allegedly disbursed in excess of the petitioner’s entitlement. Admittedly, no show cause notice was issued to the petitioner nor any opportunity of hearing/representation afforded prior to taking such decision. Recovery of amount entails civil consequences. 2. On this short ground alone, Annexure A-2 is quashed. Respondents are directed to take action in accordance with law only after affording opportunity of hearing/representation to the petitioner. Post decisional hearing, which is sought to be pressed in this case is impermissible in law keeping in view the fact that monetary benefits were unilaterally sought to be recovered from the petitioner. 3. With these observations, petition stands disposed of. March 31, 2011 ( Sanjay Karol ), (rana) Judge.
