Service Law | Erroneous Pay Fixation Recovery from Retiral Dues of Class-III Employees Impermissible : MP HC Mandates Refund with 6% Interest

MP High Court rules that recovery of erroneous pay fixation from retiral benefits of Class-III employees violates service law principles, directing refund of Rs. 1.27 lakh with 6% interest. The judgment reaffirms that indemnity bonds or consent letters cannot override judicial precedents protecting lower-tier employees from administrative errors.
