Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ..................................................................................................................................................................... CORAM : D.D.SINHA & A.P.BHANGALE, JJ DATED : 15th November, 2011 Heard Mr.N.S. Bhattad, learned counsel for the petitioner; Mr A.M.Deshpande, learned AGP for respondent no.1; Mr P S Chauhan, h/for Mr C.S.Kaptan for respondent no.2 and Mr.U.N. Vyas, for respondent no.3. Grievance of the petitioner is in respect of payment of House Rent Allowance ( “HRA” in short) to the respondent no.3 though he was not eligible to receive the same. It is brought to the notice of this Court that the respondents recovered the HRA which was wrongly paid to the respondent no.3. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the respondents should take further appropriate action against those at whose instance the HRA came to be paid to the respondent no. 3. In the instant case from the facts stated herein-above, it appears that the HRA which was wrongly paid to respondent no.3 has been recovered. If there is a provision in law to proceed against those who were 2 responsible for releasing the HRA in favour of respondent no.3 though he was not eligible, in that event, it is open for the respondent-Corporation to take appropriate steps in accordance with law against such persons. With the above observations, Writ Petition stands disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE sahare
