CWP (T) No.10307 of 2008 25.11.2009 Present: Mr. B.M. Chauhan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. P.K. Sharma, Additional Advocate General and Mr. Anil Jaswal, Deputy Advocate General for respondents No.1 and 2. Mr. Lokinder Thakur, Advocate, for respondent No.3. The respondents, vide letter dated 19.2.2004 (Annexure A-1) have decided to effect recovery of Rs.37,355/- from the pension of the petitioner. Admittedly, the petitioner has not been heard before the issuance of letter dated 19.2.2004 (Annexure A-1). The only ground taken in the reply is that due to the audit objection raised by the Audit Party, the recoveries were ordered to be effected from the petitioner. He has suffered civil and evil consequences. Consequently, the Annexure A-1 dated 19.2.2004 is quashed and set aside. However, the liberty is reserved to the respondents to proceed in the matter in accordance with law. With these observations, the present petition is disposed of. No costs. (R.B. Misra), ACJ.
