Post-Retirement Recovery Barred Within One Year of Retirement | Circulars Mandate Advance Preparation: MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court quashed the recovery of Rs. 3.02 lakh from a retired government employee, holding that state circulars prohibit such deductions if retirement is due within one year of the recovery order. This reinforces a strict timeline for departmental recoveries and protects pensioners from arbitrary post-service adjustments, setting a clear precedent for all state employees.
