THAWE, DIST- GOPALGANJ (BIHAR)……………………………………..REPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 13-Aug-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned order of Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, Patna dated 16.12.2009 whereby O.A. No. 270/2008 preferred by widow of a retired railway servant has been allowed and the Tribunal has held that in absence of required enquiry under Rule 2273B and 229 of the Indian Railway Commercial Rules Vol.1, the disputed loss to railway could not have been recovered from the gratuity payable to the retired employee and that too after more than 2 years when the maximum period of six months is prescribed for making any recovery from a retired employee. On considering the entire facts and on going through the discussions made by the learned Tribunal, 2 particularly in paragraph-5 to 9 of the impugned order, we find no good reasons to interfere with the impugned order. This writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
