IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No. 14526 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : DECEMBER 10, 2009 SUDESH KUMARI ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ORS. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Nirmal Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. BS Chahal, DAG, Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed praying for quashing order dated 8.9.2009 (Annexure P-1), by virtue of which the petitioner has been directed to deposit a sum of Rs.1,21,110/-. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner confines the claim in challenge to recovery only. Re-fixation of pay is accepted. A perusal of order (Annexure P-1) indicates that after re- Civil Writ Petition No. 14526 of 2009 2 fixation of pay of the petitioner, the amount to be recovered from the petitioner has been calculated. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that when the pay had initially been fixed by the respondents, the petitioner did not play any fraud and had not misrepresented facts. In such circumstances, the issue is covered by Full Bench judgment of this Court rendered in CWP 2799 of 2008 (Budh Ram and others vs. State of Haryana and others) decided on 22.5.2009. Learned counsel for the respondent-State states that, in deed, there is no material to indicate that the petitioner had played fraud or misrepresented facts. In view of the above, I am of the considered opinion that the matter is covered by the judgment of this Court in Budh Ram's case (supra). The petition is, accordingly, allowed in limited terms viz. the respondents would have no right to effect recovery from the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs.
