IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.1422 of 2010 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. The Secretary, Department Of Science And Technology Government Of Bihar, Vishwashraiya Bhawan, Bailey Road, Patna. 3. The State Board Of Technical Education Through It'S Secretary Visheshwaraiya Bhawan, Bailey Road , Patna. Versus Sri Phulena Singh S/O Late Dunia Singh R/O Road No.8, Behind Ideal Public School, Rajivnagar, P.O.Kesrinagar, Distt-Patna-24. ----------- 7. 06.07.2011 Upon hearing learned counsel for the appellant, we do not find any merit in respect of recovery proceeding initiated by the Government. But since the employee was not the Drawing and Disbursing Officer who paid salary of second time bound promotion without approval of the Finance Department which was the responsibility of the Drawing and Disbursing Officer to stop the payment which was not done by him. Therefore, amount paid to the respondent shall be liable to be recovered from the Drawing and Disbursing Officer at the relevant point of time on account of whose fault the payment was made to the respondent. This appeal is disposed off. Anand Kr. ( Prakash Chandra Verma, J.) (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
